Kit Kelen #882 - winter piece

882
winter piece

further further
into the dark
and worst foot forward

cling to this line
as a life buoy

foot after foot
won't see through this smoke
and then the fire's cold

rain in earnest then
and it could be forever too

shapes, colours ­- only memory
and what if morning doesn't come?

then night will be deeper
into the dark

cursed awake to know
this wind between the ears
all thoughts away

black dream
and down

huddle
naked in it
chilled to bone

the moon goes
and the stars are bung

forever night
as at a pole

darker and darker
you do it yourself

you can wake up dead
from winter

you can do this on a clear blue day

will you cosy up with?

do you think you can eat your way out?

    Such a strong start!
