snowflakes and acceptance

I looked up into the sky
through the trees,
stripped of their leaves,
because
that's the way
winter has always been.

Death existed before me.

I lit my cigar
and drank my beer --
with the knowledge
that
I don't give a shit.

    this is great stuff: simply and precisely

    death is a beautiful creature.
    she puts everyone in perfect perspective.
