Emma Cookie Poems

This is the time of year you will forget.
You will forget the taste of the cold and the silence of the snow.
You will forget the frozen fields and the hollow grass.
But the snow will forgive you, it will always forgive you.
...

We didn't know if we should break or cry
Let the silence build up, bubble over
Into the abyss some may call the sky
To us it was the before, the after.
...

It's funny how inspiration becomes you when you stare into the mirror
You see everything
You see that unfading crease in you left cheek that dimples.
You watch yourself swallow, that shift in your throat becoming the shift in your reality.
