your shadows loom on the wall
but you yourself are small
and the moon is cool
through the silvery trees
the sun is not
except the winter sun
that you forgot
can be silver high in the sky
and inside look as warm as June
from your old room
but in the snows
it's cold you know
the sun you used to
call by amber names all last summer
and carnivaled candy appled
carameled
you don't feel well
as if you suddenly outgrew
the crystal shoes
the quests in fairy tales
the crimson sails
of the boat of Dream.
