New York Snowstorm

We played all day in the cake frosting snow until we found ourselves on the old bridge in Central Park and you slid in your boots like you were coming down from third base to find the winning run in the middle of summer (but it wasn't summer, and snow big as eyelashes floated down in the blue air) and my arms waved like an ump. "SAFE!"

And you were. 

And still are.
