iii.
sharp vowel of frozen earth, the songful depths of winter sink like the seas, the dark notes of the clouds an accent above the vaulting hills.
iv.
i sink like the seas before your love, my knees trembling, my legs aroused,

the sky must sigh, the wind whisper to the sea; βtake me home.β
vi.
i see you and my body melts, your love the breath of the sea, the magical tides of the clouds.
