a month ago a leaf fell
reds and yellows
coat a grey world
covering up those cracks
you know
the ones you don't let them see
but boy do you sparkle
with that first
perfect sunset
after the snow
creating a white sheet
melting through those same cracks
god did you shimmer
a goofball
a listener
an advice giver
a mood ring
telling yourself
you'd rather not start
melting into those cracks
invisible, looked at
not quite noticed
they aren't a collapsing bridge
a smile towards a world
a shiny world
that doesn't see those cracks
you could explain
we all like to
melt just a little
sometimes
