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.

now that she's back in the atmosphere
outside there is a strong wind piping up. it will storm soon. the maple leaves are making a sound that is like the rush of water, even the cicadas are silent. my room is hot from afternoon in summer, but soon it will be cooler.
