That Snow That Comes Once a Year

A Poem by Kolten Slaughter

Frostbitten roses-

The same color 

At the end of my nose.

That rosy hue which

Scatters across my face

And around my ears.

I’m in pain - my senses invisible -

But I don’t care,

I don’t care. 

I walk back inside 

For some hot chocolate 

And a warm bath.
