Looking out onto a city at night as snow falls, and flowers light up the sky like fireworks.
The Deep of Winter
The Arctic Circle

Six Hours
Effervescent
Celebratory
. . .
We huddle together happily to keep warm.
You point excitedly:
There!
Snowflakes burst between the bright yellow lights of the city. Flowers fill the night sky.
When did this begin?
With a gentle voice.
When we stopped taking from the earth, and began giving back.
