it's true that we may never live to see the spring
and it's possible that such a thing never existed to begin with
but i've seen our gardens in the secret place
you know the place, don't you sister?
the warm green place inside of you
the place where the roses bloom and the blue jays soar
even as the blizzard threatens to bury you alive
the place he knows only from photographs and his perverse caricatures
the place he belittles and at the same time secretly longs for
the place he tries to capture but each time melts
like a snowflake in his hot, clumsy hands
this is the place where i'll meet you, whenever you're ready

"Don't Die," also powerful.
"i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful.
the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think. Jeremy Leaming
This excellent EP swings from lurching post-hardcore to shadowy dark rock, anchored by a shattering vocal performance. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2018
