no one ever actually said it really happened. you read the history and yet you still glossed over the fact that it calcified into mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it was meant to happen over and over again. nietzschean recurrence. a letter to whom it may concern. nothing personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
were<\/p>\n\n\n\n
warned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and still put your hand in the snow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
summoned the Thurs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and when you finished walking with the ice giants and the snowcaps faded, the shard of ice remained in your heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
frosted tears searing skin became a liability so you learned to forget how to cry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and yet you still carried the two ice cores<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they melted so you could drink pure water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

where not even the clouds can seek you out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and then it became the andes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the obsession with harvesting the cloud, farming fog for her essence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it was wind magick that made the ice give way<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you cannot see your reflection as clearly in the snow and ice as you can in the thawed lake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you once again have permission to feel again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
