they refuse to sink,
those memories of autumn,
floating, but not gone
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

so i took another nap

they refuse to sink
my mud annoyances climb
the walls my being built
_______
floating but not gone
tattered leaves bob on water
like threadbare patience

Like threadbare patience,
the leaves on the lake, floating
amid thick white clouds.

amid thick white clouds
traces of winter emerge
hanging on to snow
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

ear pressed on to snow
i hear summer thawing through
just beneath the ice
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

just beneath the ice
there is a sliver of hope
it's out of my reach

it's out of my reach,
a soul left in the snowdrift,
a frostnip solstice.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

ice crystals tremble on glass,
hanging from windows

hanging from windows
dew drips its misty shadow
ink pools at my feet

I would have been much more successful as a seagull or a fish.

the foam-white seagulls

in exchange for wings
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.
