       beyond my road

       i can hear

       the stream



       in ice

       water licks

       the shadow of

       its still self

       and moves on



       upon its eddies

       i lay a leaf



       greyed

       and dried



       not to be restored by this phantom touch of dew



       i dream it

       a paper

       filled with words

       you will never know



       not for the lack of soul within the words

       no, not that

       it is discretion that moves me so



       to wash

       to clean away

       to be all that i am



       less

       the words

       you mused.
