Snowman Valentine

Snowmen always remind me
Of those wooden Russian dolls
Always another one inside
How many bodies we hide
Until we come to the soul
The little atomic doll
Who suggested it all
The coal and carrot and scarf
Discarded in a heap
Waiting to be restored
To the image of a man
A man inside a man
Inside a man
Homeless in our yard
