my lungs hate the ups |
my brain can’t abide the flats |
my knees hate the downs |
The three body problems.

We hope the snow melts,
Forest floor not tinder dry,
The well filling,
The streams in song,
We hope winter was enough,
To dampen sparks,
Nourish the soil,
We are always hoping,
But we prepare for fire.
