"A book must be an axe for the frozen sea inside us." 
Kafka in a letter to Oskar Pollak 

As it happens: 
I have some books
I have at least two axes
I have the frozen sea
so I have all 3/3
*
the day is cloud-colored
my hair is in my eyes
I travel inside the love 
I have built for you
where it is windy
*
but this time tomorrow
Spring will be closer
these shoots coming up
groping their way into 
the air, would agree

Oh, I hope we don't have another cold snap and kill all the bulbs. I'm inordinately worried about this!

Yay, Nicole!
Thank you, Steph.
Engie--Me too. But it was such a mild winter, I suspect we're truly in Spring time territory now.
