It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.


Forebode what is about to happen
when spring comes around,
how it twists, out of proportions, the chimes

 

thawing the frost, vaporising the apparent wetness
gathering on the first few seconds of day—
the cringing sycophants who resist change.

 

Are you expecting changes on their way?
Water has to leave us. Mists on top
are like haloes of unrelenting spectres

 

unwilling to map their exit ways,
and always find ways to trail behind
arbitrarily, searching only for grammatical

 

lexicons to demystify the sphere. But
when air turns into water, what, and how,
can we say anything about what we don’t know?
