and so do you, though There

a sense of

that is not the case.
don't know,
chilly otherworldly place.

Let's leave footprints I
know
unless
we choose
and
let
snow cover us with white
and
let

and
let ice stick
foot prints stay
when
we
stay
in
them
We stop
any
where we can,
they won't stay long tonight

on

and stand
our backs
