Quantity:
the snow is falling
and its December
the river is still running open
and reminds me of something unknown
rising
and adhering as frost and ice on the branches
my friend, my face
where do I find words for this
when I bow to the trunk
I become the tree
still speechless
I am close to the forest edge
and my body shivers in the wind
