the palms of winter are pressing now
the wind has lost its fiery vow
the flames are smoke
the water ice
and you have left this deep crevice
i keep finding between my bones
the summer doors are closing now
and memory is folding how
the day welds in
and becomes a thin
wedge of life
and now we wake into a newer dream
and flow into this seamless stream
(that will not mend)
of discovery that all our odds and ends
will be taken by the storms
