First Snow

Written sometime in November 2009, during the first snow in Princeton:

Traversing the air, falling angled
like millions of miniscule crashing planes.
Disintegrating as they land, disinterested
in what fate and destination demand. Tiny
kamikaze warriors of the cold wind,
they sacrifice themselves on our skin;
cyclical, they show us what will be
is what has been.
