Dream Song 28: Snow Line

 It was wet & white & swift and where I am
we don't know.
It was dark and then it isn't.
I wish the barker would come.
There seems to be eat nothing.
I am usually tired.
I'm alone too.
If only the strange one with so few legs would come, I'd say my prayers out of my mouth, as usual.
Where are his note I loved? There may be horribles; it's hard to tell.
The barker nips me but somehow I feel he too is on my side.
I'm too alone.
I see no end.
If we could all run, even that would be better.
I am hungry.
The sun is not hot.
It's not a good position I am in.
If I had to do the whole thing over again I wouldn't.
