And we skirt the shadowed outline
of the frozen wood, 
moving toward a light
which casteth shadows not.
Snow covers them tonight.


~~


And without speech
they delved forever deeper
into the mines of minds, 
deeper than
their pre-daters
could themselves survive


~~


And she responds to the breeze
gently, almost with a practiced ease
that guides her words to
nestle in my faulty memory
when all the rest becomes a blur
a hazy bubble
in which I watched the world burn


~~


The starless sky forever waits,
its most mesmerizing traits 
all lost in manufactured smog,
Day or Night the watch decides


The watch decides, the watch decides
synchronized
to the clocks inside.
Hidden from light, from sun
how can they tell the time?


~~


This place I've never been
 so full of memories
and then...
