the snowman

[the golden eternity]

i see
that there is no me
haven't you heard?
there's no eye but the third

i hear
nothing to fear
the words that were said
were before we were dead

i smell
that all is well
haven't you tasted
how life's being wasted?

i taste
the world without haste
haven't you found
the nothing around?

i feel
how nothing is real
haven't you felt
that we're all gonna melt?

-------------

the desire to get better
is itself the pain

the desire to get drier
is itself the rain

the hotter the fire
the wetter the snow-
man trying to hold on
to a love that will let go
