contradictions like this passage
in black fathomable words
capers through
flanks of a mountain
on the far west side,
the Zephyr marching
with a pleasant smile;

the mighty but pleasant
oh! No not again -
with your ever penchant
puff for contradictions
look not to rein …
on this fine frosty night
lets make a toast again;

and as temporary -
and as transitive -
the snow melts;
and fluxional contradictions
that mired this passage -
have dissolved into making
deliberate summers again …
