grey white morning give me strength
give the breath that frees
from death
ice white snow. milk white glow
give the light of life
on the day after the day of Holy
innocents
on the day after the day after when we repent
and when we are born
strength of hibernation
be with me
strength of mother fur roll with me
power of forgetting be in me
all in my furs
all in my cave
jesus came to save
be sending us in
to the deepest of sleeps
