falling snow interrupts
by Laura Schechter
a chill in the air
my face is too cold
i am with the wrong man
preserve this moment for later accuracy
remember i kissed your chin and put my hand to your jaw
remember how my hair unbraided when i walked away

Laura Schechter is a Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta.
Although her research is generally in Renaissance literature, she

and is happy to be an occasional creative writer herself. Her work
often searches out the domestic, the quiet, and the personal.
