Warmth encircles my shoulders. A gift,
a green-plaid blanket from my brother.
Somewhere, soft piano falls and lifts.
Guitar strings thrum, low and gentle.
My mind blooms outward\u2014I want everything
to be exactly as it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside, thick snowflakes wander
downward. I\u2019d never have chosen
a green-plaid blanket for myself. But
my brother,
I\u2019m glad he chose this, exactly this.
A gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
