Mixed Variables (Snows Still On The Tree Lines / Part Two)
She was
Big green eyes
A chocolate half moon smile
And a love you’d never felt
Dropped on your scale of
Love philosophy and future hook ups
She held
White when compared to the salted gray world
Falling
In the flash of a second hand
Coffee shop chats
Scripted family dinners
Kisses in parking lots
Shifted on the perpetual scale of … things
First Dates, phone calls, and kisses
In a blink
You’re flat on your face in love
Your eyes in the air
Heart on the ground
Hand in hers
She was rain water
Fresh breath
Stolen kisses and light music with subtle vibrato
A constant
Not elementary one plus one addiction
But one plus ‘x’ equals one ‘x’ equation
You fear shell leave
Shifting your salted world on its axis
Snows still stuck in the tree line darling
And she’s already gone
