Going Back

Trudging through snow

in June, I guessed

that this is what

life feels like.

 

Its cold

unforgiving

a struggle

to achieve anything.

 

Those believers

reminding

all is well

what do they know.

 

Have they

finished it

their guarantee

positive outcome.

 

Like life

a warming sup

of whiskey

will ease.

 

Hope will

drive you mad

but is somehow

required.

 

Bitterness

is just a residue

left by

continuing struggle.

 

Nothing is infinite

I die a little

every single day,

bleak isn't it.
