Six


(Blue Snow)


Sakura petals remind him of spring

And Death, if he's honest

But most of all,

They remind him of life

The time spent saving it

And the time spent losing it

.

Blue reminds him of heartache

And how cruel the world can be

He's more human than reindeer

More monster than human

A blue nose

And furry skin

Are just the curses

The world's given him

.

Rubbing alcohol reminds him of books

Red blood

And shiny metal

Made to cut and heal

All at the same time

And somewhere, in the back of his mind

He wonders, if monsters were doctors,

Could people forget that they're monsters?

.

Snow reminds him of home

Dusty books

And furry skin

Heartache

Death

And shiny metal

Spring

Monsters

And sakura petals
