Angels In the Snow
head to head,
brunette and sugar blonde.
snow angels and soul mates.
cheekiness of wings,
as college students
only daydream into the sun kissed room.
the professor taps the glass
displaying a wry smile and a warning.
eye to eye,
blue sky peeks
into moss green, illuminating shadows
from her past. she hushes him with hugs.
he reassures her with a diamond ring
surrounded by tiny emeralds and sapphires.
face to face,
between the crowd and the priest.
wanting to giggle and wriggle
as they remain stoic at the moment.
his wink almost makes her knees faint.
side by side,
white train and polished suit,
enveloped by confetti throwers.
as they reach the threshold of the church,
a professor and his cheeky wife form
angels in the snow.
Their cold cheeks turn red
and true blue.
