    i am held apart and
    the words said
    are not for who
    am i say i may be

    rejoined if held together
    in arms tenderly and
    whispers the wind
    my name am be

    still crushed flower
    under the snow
    waiting to come of spring

    gather us now
    at fingerposts &
    streetlamps in the fir
    bone crunching the
    frostcrust snow
    under our woolen
    scarlet, some
    edges cut thin

    "how do you do?"
    "i am well, and you?"
    "fine, i couldn't
    be better."
    "it's cold, we should
    have a bit of tea."

    — and so forth
    and so on as the
    sleigh bells silver
    their ever closer in
    a pale empress coming
    could you not
    see all is well as
    might have been?

    a slendering into irrelevance
    pict-too pict-too painted blue
    —and now the unwanting

    to crawl down to bed in seek
    to find a dream in shiftspace
    between the you and the me

    that clackbone cracking
    after the summer, corewood
    once living, now dead

    kiss me before the afterglow fades
    pict-too pict-too all painted blue
    to slip to my slendering again

    growing at distance
    eyes play watchmen
    observing in steel as
    a hand strokes in time
    with the machine

    sudden summer rain
    calls to the napping
    of grey dark the room
    i still ache to dream

    winter tales,
    winter song
