Beneath a blanket of snow, damp paper dreams of
floating off in the wind.
[…]
I hunger for any sound
but there is still some time until a bird will squawk on
March’s fevered fences.

What can I say then,
I who hunger for just one note in the year’s bare
songless season?

I better get up,
pick up a brush and dip it in color,
then draw a bright little bird on the canvas of my
loneliness.

Behind us, the memory of a wave pours the rubble of
stillness and emptiness ashore.

To the shore then,
to cast our nets upon the sea
and catch the freshness of water.

With a little pebble of sand
we can measure the weight of Being.

I went to the end of the alley of doubt,
as far as the cool night air of contentment,
as far as the rain-damp evening of affection.

I went to meet someone at the far end of the alley of
love.
I traveled as far as I could to meet another.
As far as the lamp,
the silence,
the fluttering sound of loneliness—
