[hometext] => n/a always, abraham
[bodytext] => I imagine an endless field of summer rolling over empty hills, a white sky chasing its own reflection; a juniper stands idle, watching a small mouse sleeping in its shade, and I am left alone. I imagine the winter's raging snows and rivers; the world rests its head beneath the dirty pelt of silence, and I am left alone. I am spring and fall laying at the blankets edge. I imagine her cold warmth of flesh beneath me; her fingers tangle the rusted blade of my hair. My lips embrace her, I taste the small of her breasts; she is juniper and rain, a small mouse trembling in the cold, and I am left alone. I imagine how it is without her and it is an endless field of summer, and it is the winter's raging snows and rivers; and it is a small mouse sleeping in the shades of silence. And at that, I see her smiling.
