A Fool's game

Only a fool plays this game of mind

 

In all the piles of snow outside

 

A single movement

 

The black eye of the raven

 

Brittle days brief and dark

 

Blood flows thin

 

Burgundy to gin

 

Shallow yellow light

 

Barely penetrates

 

Curtains that separate

 

Reality

 

Prisoner of this dark world

 

Garden of wind and death

 

Pine trees crusted with snow

 

There is misery out there

 

Nothing is out there

 

Let the raven pluck

 

Out your eye

 

Is this game almost over

 

The mind is never satisfied
