falling

i awoke
this morning to find
the first
snowflakes falling
past my window.

i wanted to tell
someone
but there was
no one
to tell.

so i
closed my eyes
and wished
that weren't true.

when i
opened them, snowflakes
still fell
and still
there was no one
to tell.

falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
past my window.

i wonder
why i care so
much about these things, but

i do.
