I write because my time is limited and my imagination is not.
Winter speaks wise words In the language of the bear We need translations

Thinking you know what you mean Such a subtle trap Words have lives They are born, they work, and they die Children imitate their parents
Escape a mad king Create a new republic Choose a new, mad king
I am quite sure you are not out there, now How could you be? This is not a real home It is a rather sordid waystation Between oblivions
Fools deny the existence of giants Their minds have modest, confined dimensions Their worlds are formed from mundane elements
There is no magic here: just streetlight sparkled snow But the fact is that these sparks seem to spin into constellations for my eye
Make what it is like For you to be yourself, in The world, legible
Zombie narratives Talking endlessly without Anything to say
I had good reason to be annoyed, even a little angry When you decided to add winter to my list of reasons to despair You made the air an adversary and the improperly sealed windows
Let us be grateful Even terrible stories Must come to an end
Here are the words, nervous about meaning As little as the mute mote in the beam Here is the dust, beautifully gleaming
Make creation itself your strange subject Involve yourself in its old mystery Conventional wisdom blithely reject Paint potential as actuality
