winter in the lilies

it is within
the disquiet of
words that fall on your
heart like the first winter
snow in the late fall,
as the leaves are cracked
and raw beneath our calloused
heels, our faces new to cold
and fat and tanned, that is when
the bridle is hard against
our teeth and we feel the
sprouting of lilies
in between our ribs
that bloom out
of our open
