We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.

Here are the Organ Pipes of Mount Wellington with a smattering of snow. The Organ Pipes are dolerite columns that range up to 125 metres tall, and are a fine example of a scrag. Apparently people climb these things. For fun. Really. Mind you, there is a whole community of people who think that fairies are real, so it takes all sorts...

Anyway, this is the kind of winter I can cope with! Snow! A chill the the air but sun on your cheek! Blue sky! Enough rain now people! We need a break! I've got playgroup tomorrow!

Have a poem:

romance

she knew that he wanted her
wanted ownership of her
of the idea of her
at least

part of her wanted to be wanted
for her wanting wanting
came naturally
as breath

naturally he wanted an answer
she wanted questions
of course things
got messy

it wouldn’t couldn’t shouldn’t work
it didn’t work
of
course
