sometimes just like when the seasons linger 
I slowly find myself undercurrent within the vortex of our time come closer whisper your name lean over 
I wish you would stay a little longer sink into my ear your words 
I pray will keep me safe and my flesh a little warmer the void 
I sigh when 
I hesitate the cold outside 
I will undertake otherness 
I sense the motion my catatonic shell clad in fire golden gray to all others you are a stranger veiled in mistery uninvited thief bringer of light drift into night soar on the wings of a new dawn where winds blow in houses of hollow and water runs through statues of salt
