Don’t Forget Your First

DON’T FORGET YOUR FIRST

I hadn’t thought about it for years;
it’s not one of those things
that I think about,
but as I stand here now, watching
snowflakes dust the hills,

Scurrying and catching in my hair
like long lost thoughts, I recall
that moment with a smile. Skiing
through the whiteness of wind
on a mountain whose name I can’t recall –

Remembering that moment when I
was suddenly awake, aware,
open and laid bare,
when in a single gasp I inhaled
the universe and all its stars
into the depths of soft innocence,

And we kissed, first kiss, right there
as snowflakes fell on us in veils
of laced discovery.
