  Let this be our winter by Evan Smith We’ll say farewell some day, but not for now. Now we’ll sleep the serpent’s sleep just before it peels away with nicks and scrapes its skin. Look at the serpent slither, look, let’s look as off it slithers lithe, but rough, to its hell and learn. And having looked, so let us wait and learn to do without pretenses.
