““I’m starting to feel like an old man alone in a small boat In a snowfall of blossoms, Only the south wind for company, Drifting downriver, the beautiful costumes of spring Approaching me down the runway of all I’ve ever wished for. Voices from long ago floating across the water. How to account for my single obsession about the past? How to account for these blossoms as white as an autumn frost? Dust of the future baptizing our faithless foreheads. Alone in a small boat, released in a snowfall of blossoms.””
