what is mine

smoke
     scent of winter
radiator heat
                  and mirrors

pale blue eyes
                    gales
      stealing breath
and slow-falling snowflakes
on Massachusetts Avenue
      impress my days
                       in the background

these private recollections of
recollecting you
are mine
           alone

and this gorgeous story
      we have lived
                          yours
just as
i always
           intended
