You stand in the path as the snow begins to fall

Fearless and alone

The most beautiful woman I have ever known

Skin the color of walnut

Breasts filled with pain

You look at me

And I see into your soul

But I turn to walk away now

I wanted you to call to me

Anything

Any thing

But you won’t

You would stand naked and cold

And you would not shiver

You would not ask for my warmth

Without turning I see you behind me

Dissolving, brown into the white snow

And I will cry an ocean

Mare Dolce, Mare Delores

Tonight I will be warm

I will be engulfed in the woman who talks poetry

Who sees beacons in the lights

Who walks ocelots on a leash

And then I can cry for you no more

All because you had no fear

Had no fear
