I Would Be

by Emily Anderson

May 28, 2008 — Published in Verse

I would be the snow
if it meant I could cling
to you, melt on your warm skin,
bring a flush to your cheeks,
and then disappear.

I would be beautiful
as I fell frozen from heaven,
a million miniature angels,
to land softly on your unyielding
shoulders and your hands,
your soft soft skin in wool mittens.

But I would rather fall
onto your upturned face,
your fine messy eyebrows,
closed eyes, parted lips
welcoming my kiss.
