one leaf, unaltered

to nestle briefly and then fall for 3WW

his absolute conclusions

about how she felt

what she wanted from him

and what she thought

were so absolutely incorrect

the black and white ideas

never had a chance

to form their own unique path

to blend into gray

months later

when winter came

billions of broken snowflakes

fell to the ground

and she was confronted

with the task

of shoveling

a single pathway

for her own survival

her own existence

while empowering

it left two snowbanks

refusing to melt

one to her left

one to her writes
