Wednesday, July 19

Always - winter

voices rise to fever pitch
children turn blue
nothing old, nothing new

cold grey embers
clutch blindly
the invisible sun
and I remember

writhing, fading
celebrating
In the mist's
stranglehold

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

sky unravels
its clammy coat
frosty brew
chilled just for you

rigid fight
numbing bite
iced eyelid
spiked lashes
welcome gashes

and if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
well maybe....
the landslide will bring you down

frozen fingertips
finally feel right

Poignant contrast, you and those others.
The frozen bite... Yes!

always so disconnected as though life is seen through a greasy window from the outside looking in.

It's as if two voices are circling each other instincually, waiting for the other to attack. Which one will win?

Inkblot said...

san: its the foul air I breathe lol!

mermaid: neither possibly. winter will overwhelm. we'll be buried in the landslide..
