Widow Maker

The recipient
Weathered expectations 
The heaviness was unable to hold.
I fell. Not on purpose.
I was new to this too.
My warmth was a mystery.
You saw me crumble.
I never meant to be apart of so much damage.
I slipped.
The adrenaline was enticing.
All power lost. 
Never trust 
Texas weather

After working ten years in the Texas panhandle, I would have to agree, Nicole. I can remember going to work in short sleeves and coming home with ice in my beard. Nice poem:)
