ginger in the snow

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.
