without a ribbon or a bit of twine, nothing
inserted to be found, because i could no
longer sustain the vague back and forth, the
punishments, the innuendo. the peace i offered
was more than what's deserved, but i offered
it just the same, and was rewarded as expected.

the leaves are gone; the ground has frozen; little
was preserved this year.
