Such a long long way
to go and still think

maybe not–
call it a joke

or call it a knife
it gets the point across

.

Real snow recently
deep stuff

cathartic erasure
a blank slate

for a blank stare
for whatever can’t be said

.

Hesitation is an answer
delay is an answer

even silence is an answer
yes, it can be heard–

in the depths of the glades
my ears were ringing from it
