Walking Away

She walked away  
Snowflakes dancing around her
Streetlights and shadows welcoming their new friend
The bitter night air bit her cheek
With the tingle of winter's touch
It was her last kiss to him
That kept her warm
Traffic moved hurriedly past
Storefronts and old men beckoned her near
Begging for an audience of time or money
But not this night
Her plate was full
Of Salad and sharing the day
Kisses exchanged in quantity
Small medium and pettito  
Weakening knees on stairs made of emotions
Giving way to the silent exchange of goodbye
