Strawberries in the Snow

a sunny day
you and I
walking through the wilderness
looking for
traces of
magic in an ordinary world
our future will collide
with everything we’ve put aside for us
and there we were, eating these
strawberries from a dirty plate
she was still, on about
raising frogs in texas state
and walking through the fourth dimension
feeding lions flowers in the park
something went wrong in the rain
hidden way deep in the ice cream
frozen and bitter
like strawberries in the snow
she was young
I was, too
we were on the roller coast
sailing in, sailing out
swimming at an ordinary beach
our future will collide
with everything we’ve put aside for us
something went wrong in the rain
hidden way deep in the ice cream
hidden way deep in the sun screen
hidden way deep in our world
we will step out in the rain
dressed up in clothes for the summer
we’ll rediscover
the strawberries
hidden in the snow
