Forever Winter
FOREVER WINTER
Cookie cutter angel t w i n s in the fluffy dough.
Woolen arms flap, rolling out wings in the snow.
T e n d r i l s of brisk air move about their cheeks.
Ice skate heaven smiles with frozen-r e d peaks.
The crunch of i c e-crusted icing like crème brûlée.
Their kid-size boots disappear into the earth’s cache.*
A serpentine scarf wrapped around shoulders twice.
The chin-reduction t w i n s dance on chilly white ice.
J & J meet in their s t a r r y snowflake schemes,
Eden’s wonderland, in their forever winter dreams.

*Though cache is pronounced “kash.” Some mispronounce as “kash ay”
Please except as the latter. It was in the rhyming dictionary.
**Mom’s twin passed away in August
