I am your kin
though I am a bastard.
I've been your son all summer,
but whose to say seasons won't change?
When will the snow fall?
Know that the leaves can't remain in their hues.
It bends me to catch me
distresses distracts me
from all these constant things.
Instant to instant
is drastically different
from allI I'd ever seen.
---
There's a mountain on a mountain with the curing necessaries that you seek.
And a constant invitation when the ticking-tocking-turning leaves you weak.
I've been up around the mountain side.
There ain't no way to keep from coming down.
So rise up.
---
Years in snow-capped dimensions have
really taken effect on me, enhancing self reflection, see
here in the city the wind when it blows, so far past your shoulders --
where's that wind go? Slow down.
Let it find you.
You're moving too fast.
