I kissed the snow which I had thrown off your face,
Laughing, bright sunlight through evergreen trees. I had known:
Our embrace and the forest silence was a moment
Vanishing in time – but a moment I will repeat.
Enveloped in your warmth, your bed, you,
Your lips and your hands and your thoughts, too
Oh and our sweat and our heat and our pain –
Unsteadily, imperfectly, readily becoming one.
