first,
snow.
how tiny things are
big. how tiny things fall,
and then,
build up.
like words.
like smirks.
like the lonely boy on the play
ground
who gives away his lunch one day
and then,
the next.
like small raises in your salary.
like one ant and then,
one hundred.
like sitting in small pieces of
the dark,
waiting for snow
to
fall.
and then,
it
does.
