the desert in winter
by Sophia Gracewinter now. we are older,
we understand the importance
of silence. where no snow can fall,
our secrets will betray us.
even still, i must tell you this;
i'm swallowing stars, illuminating
worn-rock caverns, lighting the
passageways to where you could steal
my heart. 12/02/2008 Posted on 12/03/2008
