Imagine a cold winter day
You can't see five feet past
your face
and street lights look like
anorexic giants
watching your every move

The icicles kind of, in a way,
seem to replicate themselves
they are everything,
everybody
and everywhere
shades are shut and although
you're surrounded by life
you feel as though your
soul shivers alone

The blood flows slowly in your veins
but your heart beats faster
and faster
and in your gut, no matter how
hard you try,
you can't seem to relax

And that is how every today
seems to take me and go
but that's life
on life's terms, you know?

it happens sometimes,
& at this point,

I just hope
I can remember my way back home
