Your parting words
in brightest summer:
'I don't love you anymore
go find another'--

suddenly the sun dissolved
all was the bleakest of winter
each snow-drop was my very heart's silent tear
flowers buried their heads and perished in the heather-

did my heart lose its beat?
I did wonder and wonder
was every finger of mine frost-bitten
did I to despair entire surrender?

frozen in time, transfixed I stood
on the slippery sinking glacier
the winds lashed at my face
like bricks landed on the mirror.
