1         

2          and then there was

 

3          and there was a pair

4          it was a coldness and a warmth

5          it was a nothing and a something

 

 

1          from the 2

2          came other numbers

3          came 4

4          the seasons and the day

 

 

1          from the coldest

2          came birth

3          came dawn

4          came a slowly rising light

5          came the wind

6          came a fleeting warmth

 

 

7          from cool

8          came childhood

9          came morning

10        came a light that lingered

11        came running waters

12        came a warmth that lingered and grew

 

 

13        from warmth

14        came midday

15        came summer

16        came comfort

17        came the solid earth

18        came a great heat that started to fade

 

 

19        from coolness

20        came afternoon

21        came autumn

22        came appreciation

23        came fire

24        came a growing coldness

 

 

1          came the coldest again

2          came death

3          came the moments before dawn

4          came winter
