One must have a mind of winter – Wallace Stevens “The Snow Man”
One Must Have a Mind of Winter
When spring births
make joints ache
like a change in barometric pressure.
When the green, green
grass of summer
has the sickly glow of a neon sign.
When autumn leaves
lay beneath bare branches in a vomit of color
like the worst mixed-drink hangover.

The secret of poetry is cruelty.--Jon Anderson
