HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

~ The Waste Land, "The Burial of The Dead", Eliot

flowers, and etc
to escape the cold, he flew in. we brushed the snow and dust from his shoulders. we learn to breathe in spite of winter and ourselves.

he left. i cooked

black bean tofu and rice, cleaned my table, and did my laundry.


now my room has the faint smell of detergent, flowers incongruous and laughing in winter, other residues of him.
