Snow Songs Poem by Susan Lacovara

He sends me Beatle lyrics
To land as snowflakes do
Piling up outside my door
Knowing like a salted sidewalk
Comes a melting effect

The temperature dips into decline
Announced by the t.v. meteorologist
Who strongly suggests I stay in
Away from the winds
Away from the chill
Away from the return
Of winter's reminder


That everything slows and stalls

He sends me steamy coffee cup sentences
To wrap my hands, if not my heart, around
John, Paul, George and Ringo
Would wink in approval
And Yes, I wanna hold your hand
