alternative title: in the past, or

in a mirror world,
I am the southernmost island before the ice,
you are tundra.

I am a hollow loch that is gone with the high tide.
You are the frozen forest,
swarming with hungry wolves that tear
fissures open in your pinmould scalp.



I am the last lighthouse at the edge of the world,
remote,
perennial.
In this world without summer, I pervade the whitecaps.



You are different.
Adorned by the frailty of the underwoods,
you are scenic,
recombusting,
in an endless process of death and rebirth.
You know snow. You claim to have lived through many seasons.



I am simplicity-
the bare rock,
the drifting iceberg,
and my beauty are the mussel scales on my back.



Austral or boreal,
it is still; and
we claim to have survived many winters.

But when the spring melts your ice and the birds nest,
your branches will be filled with song,
and the earth will blossom.


Down by my shores,
there is no plant life but driftwood,
and my spinal cord of drying kelps.
But when the spring makes me milder,
I will twirl myself into a seashell,
and dream of a field ripe with flowers.
this is a true story.

I will dedicate it to someone that should forget me and go on with life.
And no, in case you're wondering, it's not you, ~VasFarkas : ) Although you're the tundra.



EDIT

it became a series:


the iceland series

"he said he had survived many winters..."

I think I should like to reach the edge of the world.
