Every year we are falling

into this void brought about by love.

three little seeds.

Are you his queen down there?

Has your beauty become awesome and terrible,

as I fade away in the ruins above,

in the shining air.

The golden corn, my heart, is harvested

and ground into dust upon the stone.

I am frozen.

I am waiting for my daughter.

I am waiting for spring.
