My Superpower
Did I show you the electrified sparkles on the snow last night? Mesmerized I felt I could follow through their mysterious door to middle earth. Their contract with the moon is to for them to create a stage. The moon's charismatic presence steals the show of course. Did I show you how milkweed feathers take flight in subzero weather? They light up in the sun as the wind takes them. Like daylight-stars, floating and disappearing over black rooftops. Sometimes leafless trees in winter creep me out. Have I told you they get morbid and lonely in winter? I see their vivid shadow-snow-dance. Like they’re eager for me to follow suit and disappear. “Let me enjoy winter!” I tell them. (without looking up) Did you know my love has super powers? It leaps tall, red-brick buildings. It can hold its breath for such a long, long time. It knows every language man has made. Which includes silence. These magical things aren’t easy to explain. Oh…if only you could see what I see. Feel how I feel. Bu
