and now my story prologue one more
I will set down everything I know. Memories do not arrange themselves obediently in order, and already I am thinking of a garden. it does not belong at the beginning nor is it at the end of my story, but it is there. a garden in the snow. It must have been two years later, after all that happened, and I went back and it was covered on snowflakes wet my hair. I felt joy in that terrible place, because I had never seen snow. This is how he surprises me, this is his way. I was happy in the snow, but I was crying at the same time, or was it the ice on my face
There was nothing to fear any more, I knew that, and there was every reason to feel the happiness that I felt, I could not banish the image of him going. he was leaving me and going into that place. I saw him and I have seen him, again and again, over so many years, vanishing into the darkness, leaving me.
I remember it was warm and dark the first time, so dark the first so dark and the shine on leaves somehow, even though there was no moon, and his face turning. I remember what he said to me and it was something about that which called me back in the year of the snow.
There is deep snow here now, drifting up the palisades. I am no longer innocent of snow. I never dreamt of such a place or the wind gathering the geese over the endless grayness. I never imagined the cold and real snow.
Snow that buries. I can see little and hear little, and this is to my advantage. I am so far from home now and even in what I must now call home I am lost in whiteness; so memory, even a disobedient memory, has a blank parchment unfolding across the world.
I will write what I can now because I am ignorant of the day. we are all blinded by our ignorance and dream of endless time. ins't that so, even when he said there was no telling and that even he did now know you are like me, i'm sure dream.
