bloomingbirds fall from this tree where flower seasons pass sweetlip & petalwing now slain upon the grass frost & glass frost & broken glass barefoot on the splinters of your heart of frost & glass loveblind & rippingyarns a-slither on the vine SnowKing, with your thorny eyes my happiness conspires frost & glass frost & broken glass barefoot on the splinters of your heart of frost & glass
