How does one melt the glaciers of a family?
I have no might to see them through
she’s right, no bond rings true
he’s right, I feel their cold unfold

my life must now endure
the house of pain
atmospheric glaciers
of silence now remain.

I leave my room promptly,
the dining room empty.

Silence so loud, I hear the bell
siblings ring indifference to my well.
only Dad with his troubles too
will guide my hand, my life devoted
to him, the animals, the Lord
a loss so pure that none can cure
only the company of the Lord
I can now afford.
