Winter is Coming

now everyone is saying "winter is coming"
Vikings are coming, & they've long known
the north doesn't forget why it sailed
dumb hands & are not ... is not my favourite tip, & the wedding
is ruined by anxiousness amidst battle
I am back to the labour
sheetcircling / scissoring rapidly jealous
of when it is fine / to ask why all that waste of women?
because man is / the water producer
cleansing quick
the first & worst we have for we have to!
they are watching through their
glasses on stairs, carefully
laid out with barbecue mats
