Curtain


Was I ready for closure
was I ready for the snowfall
I had read about the science
but had I understood the gift

For only later did
I re-discover that we are born to play
Play it is our primary purpose
to skip & stroke kittens in the sunlight

Bake gingerbread men
on winter Sunday afternoons
Prepare ourselves for the snowfall
& be ready, lay in wait, for the closure
