Memories

from that winter in the mountains I have peeled a scrap to seal in that place behind my pupils,that I keep for things so real that they send a silent shiver through my frozen heart and mind in thatwinter on the river peace was all that I could find take this potion I have rendered from the dregs of yesterday mix it in with things remembered that you never threw away eat it cold or warm it gently in the sunshine of asmile pictured on the card you sent me where we meant to rest a while these few moments I can spare you from the times that I have here just unfold them with great care you never know what you will hear they may run away with laughter through the morning or the night it's the love that they are after and they always tell it right.
