Tangled embrace
Exploding through the sky
Gasping, suffocated by air
Grasping, teeth grit against friction

Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Season-immune trees
Limbs breaking limbs
Torn lips kissing
Needles and bark

Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Falling through!
Midst shards of frozen pine
Your fragrance evergreen
Yours is the grandest love!
In the April snow...
