In the Prison of Winter, No Rise, No Set

In The Prison Of Winter, No Rise, No Set

 

orbit nearly closed,

the radio announcer gleefully

chirruping, the twittering fool,

"only ** graves to X off till

                                               spring"

 

the weight of the prior

the wait of the more

no matter how little

yet to come

                    too much insufferable

 

having suffered

multiple life sentences

you snit **** u don't know better,

ha, they don't even run

                                         concurrently

 

 

there are no sunsets

in the girding grays

of harsher enough and words that fail me,

are the winners in the

winter of the ****

tests and hunts,

I have successfully

                                 failed

 

of course I'm wrong you

petulant hobgoblin wringing

nyet from me you'll get no concession,

**** science,

there are no sunsets in the winter

and the sunrises,

short unsweetened,

light-less, less of less,

frigid glaring revealers

of dead trees

and deader

                    men

 

maybe in the Rockies,

perhaps the Alps,

wonderlands photoshopped,

pretty lies on the Internet BS posted

 

where I live,

wear the wear the weary

neath the sweat stink of layers of

unbundled choking hands,

winter's damage

assessed and assessment is

never overdue, payable in

                                             immediacy

 

heating bills I can't pay,

a job that said no more of you,

unpretty please,

a woman who sorcerer-scarced herself

right freaking black magic quick,

trust me I have certified verified,

me and Nixon,

X's on the kitchen calendar,

there is daylight, there is mighty night,

almighty in long and colorless

and nothing in between,

but the smog stained slush of

                                                    smothered life

 

but definitely

no sunrises and no sunsets

watched all day from the

imprisoning kitchen window

which doubles

as a **** you

                       mirror

 

there are no, not any,

you know what,

cannot even say them,

the pipe dreams of better yet,

pipes that have beaten down

me and my

disassociated senses,

signed sealed and now delivered,

from the formerly known as

The Summer Man
