"Incidental Passengers" by Andrea Damic



they journey together,

on the breaths of winter

blinking under streetlights, in twilight

intricate, in their remarkable essence

it’s impossible to tell them apart, as

no two are alike

you watch them dance their last dance

part of nature’s charm, before

final chapters are written,

all that’s left is a snowy quilt

reminding of life’s brevity

fragile, like cottony seeds of

dandelions in spring


***

incidental passengers,

on their way

to the unknown
