[hometext] => Sort of nature, sort of not. You decide.
[bodytext] => I don't know. I need sleep. Slice pale wrists Paper thin Watch them transform Into cerise snowflakes D r i f t i n g on the breath Of the cool polar bear’s sigh Bending bare branches Of winter-nude trees That shake and shiver And clutch fiercely at their Cloud-fallen blankets Finding warmth in frost Laughing quietly (No louder than a whisper) Gazing gladly at giggling children Bundled uncomfortably To fight off the inevitable chill While waiting patiently For the glittering snowfall To alight gracefully On lingering tongues Born from a cloud Living in the air Dying on a child’s soft gasp To be reborn in time In a place of numb essences Where the dead creatures sing Dark, solemn hymns And the living beings rot To a drum-less beat And a timeless instant.
