Snow in April

Have you ever seen snow in April?
Thin layer of heavy snow
wet
dense
smells like spring air, but colder, out of place.
Snow in April –
not fluffy snow
but closer to ice
and once it melts
it doesn't really go away
because it melts into the earth
soggy as you step.
Snow in April.

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
