Winter will clog up my streets, and van-
ish upon the light reflections, ris-
ing with the new day. And when light ran
down the sky into my arms, my eyes
flickered and shut hiding inside my
shell of earth, weak-boned, acidic. I,
     flickered and shut
     flickered and shut
will descend each night and know that I

will be as a ghost, hidden with each
winter, fading and returning. And
the false snow fades out; will I beseech
the wind to send my season to sand
that a child would gather and build up,
charging into structure. Now your cup,
     that a child would,
     that a child would,
fill with spring, yet the frost is your cup.

Winter deceives me, blanketing earth
in false hope as it twitches and rays
from star-fire burn the ground. The girth
of its grip crushes my thoughts; the days
in endless loop do not bear my weight.
I may count forever, in base eight,
     in endless loop,
     in endless loop,
'til true spring shines down, bleak minds it ate.
Hi.
