Snowflake

I looked up at that heavy sky
All duveted in grey, white and black
And felt the snow land on my cheeks
Like couples barely making it back.
And no one saw the single flake
That I picked out, pirouetting round.
I thought of you, and slowed it down.
There were slips and fallings
There were feints and pausings.
As bedsheet on bedsheet fell to ground.
I watched it the whole way - I froze.
It landed on my collar and melted 
precisely as planned.
