So cold. I can't go on. I can't. I tread well worn snow, Retracing my steps, hoping to go back To the time green grass littered the ground. I can't go on. Not forwards. Unknown. Unknown. I can't go on. Not without my Mother. Not in the shadow of my Father. I must go on. A spectre On a black horse tracks me, waiting. Wants me to fall, scavenge me. Take my body, pour dirt on it. Give me strength. False or true To take the steps that I must. Like Moses in the desert, I can't go on. I can't go on. I'll go on

I can't go on
