ginger in the snow

IMG_3583

who knows how many

pictures of you I’ve taken

how many times we’ve walked

down our street — in sun

and snow — on our way

to coffee and conversation

yet you still steal my heart

in the simplest of ways

the singlest of frames

the hope and ache

of a lifetime caught

in this crystal moment

and me right behind you

out in the storm and

on our way to everything

Peace

Milton

P. S. — There’s a new recipe.
