Snowflake

14 May 2021

My uncle

My one and only uncle

I’ll never hear your voice or feel your hug,

Listen to your heartbeat or make you laugh

But I always have you in my thoughts

My one and only uncle

one and only

one and only like a snowflake

delicate snowflakes that are said to all be

different and unique to themselves

but how are we to check every snowflake to see the difference?

And learn every in of the snowflake

We can only assume they’re different

Assuming how humans assume

Consuming how humans consume

Like feeling the feelings then denying feeling those feelings

And feeling ashamed for feeling those feelings that you deny feeling

So why do we say that all snowflakes are different

And not that all snowflakes are similar

Connected by the traits they share

But unique by which the ones they differ
