No half-measures

Between tree line and snow line, the alpine plants survive.

Cold and desiccation are enemies, but there is no surrender.

Clonal propagation is adequate: *** is often dispensed with.

 

Between fame and indifference, the quiet people settle.

Ice is melted by family life.

Coupling does occur: but surreptitiously.

 

Between the eccentric and the outrageous, my love lives.

No-one is ever oblivious to her presence.

An immediate outflow of passion is always an option.

 

Time to go upstairs, dearest one.

Time for a re-enactment of the big bang.

Time to roar.

 

My! Where did you learn to do that, Cynthia?
