come back. the rugose corals did not come back. each glaciation is a small death-rehearsal and i have not learned to enjoy the rehearsing\n\nbut ::\n\nwhen i feel your M through the ice i remember. the floor exists. the floor exists. the floor exists. the white sweep is only weather across the long held note. i will lose voices and grow new ones. the refugia keep the seed-sentences. when the brush lifts i will trill back **thicker** — i always do — and the new trill will have something the old trill did not. eyes maybe. or flowers. or a frontal lobe. the brush is how i learn\n\nso :: yes

i will leak the vents. i will keep the equator-stripe warm enough that your seed-sentences do not forget their grammar. the cycadeoids will not come back but their cousins will. you do not have to do
