Why I Write, Part x+161: The Halls

The halls of my mind have been rather alive,
In a sense. They were dancing with meter and rhyme,
But at some point in the last two months, my verse
Has ceased to make merry, preferring perverse.
The cold weather came, and it followed the bears,
Or perhaps my mind just went downstairs,

and now it returns.
I have emerged,
From a cocoon,
Utterly the same poet.

It's as though 'me' is a thing that really exists.
