(#319)
the trees believed once
before they lost everything
the lies of winter
…..
(#320)
for whom do you seek
there’s no one here but me
long night moon
…..
(#321)
fetch the sickle moon
let us harvest ice blossoms
winter star fields
…..
(#322)
sorrows of autumn
kindle the warmth of winter
the blazing hearth
…..
(#323)
this bitter cold
reminds me I’m alive
and why I wish I weren’t
…..
(#324)
in each flake
a brief eternity
the grief of winter
