Depending on her mood, I swim easily between two fixed points of rage and despair. The winter is coming; Soon I will be frozen in her icy shadow. So I had better choose my position wisely. Long shadows don't scare me. It is only her who will mourn the absence of sunlight on half of her skin. I swim happily in the darkness and grow flesh over my eyes. Eventually the cold will feel like warmth and I will not mourn the absence of the sun any more than the eels that slide beneath my kicking feet.

Being your slave, what can I do but tend
Depending on her mood, I swim easily between two fixed points of rage and despair. The winter is coming; Soon I will be frozen in her icy shadow. So I had better choose my position wisely. Long shadows don't scare me. It is only her who will mourn the absence of sunlight on half of her skin. I swim happily in the darkness and grow flesh over my eyes. Eventually the cold will feel like warmth and I will not mourn the absence of the sun any more than the eels that slide beneath my kicking feet.
