Emerging from sand,
flotsam reconstructed.
A metamorphosis of sorts:
bleeding heart blossoms
basking in a new light,
emerging from winter snow;
birch bark breaking skin,
shedding its pestilence,
preparing for the revolution.
Saturn returns,
brash and with its lessons hard-earned.
We are always in the springtime of something.

A ten-year retrospective. [WIP]
