An Ode to Winter

FullSizeRender

Piercing winds rush through me,

Carried down from foreign lands.

Break down layers, unbeknownst

Silken skin turns coarse,

I am left barren.

My bones were not made for you.

They do not recognize your jarred lips

Whistling into a desolate night.

Bitter gusts entrap me,

Cut through my voice as my breathe escapes

Cold and flat,

A hollow of myself.

Wonder falls from the sky

Whitens the city,

Pure and light, I give in

Fall into the space

Into which I am reborn again
