UNTITLED
by Nina Bracht-Bedell
HE LOVED HER
by Ellie Doney
He loved her
He loved her hair
He loved her smile
He loved her nose
He loved her eyes
Her eyes deeper than the melting snow He loved her pale skin
Her almost translucent skin
He loved her
He loved
She melted his heart
His soul and his being
He melted away
His last thought was her
She was inside
He was looking in
She was in
He was out
Forbidden love
Unlikely loving love For she was stuck Hanging forever Immortally inanimate
The love of a snowman and a holiday ornament
