Tears are bound to fall in the winter time.
When thoughts becomes frosted over, frozen,
outside of the primordial locus
of fleeting, flashing feelings.
Dew drop diamonds on cheeks,
Become icicles,
That stick out like vampire teeth.
Painfully piercing through the gums.
Early morning cigarettes leave a permeating sting.
Icy thoughts of weakness,
How we won’t make it through
this frozen tundra,
winter,
with its thrashing and bludgeoning.
Yet,
Hopeful for spring,
That icicles will crack their caterpillar cocoons,
And our tears will ride bicycles
on sunny days,
and board wayward trains
to far away destinations.
But For now it is December….
Fading into a soon forgotten January.

Tears are bound to fall in the winter time.
When thoughts becomes frosted over, frozen,
outside of the primordial locus
of fleeting, flashing feelings.
Dew drop diamonds on cheeks,
Become icicles,
That stick out like vampire teeth.
Painfully piercing through the gums.
Early morning cigarettes leave a permeating sting.
Icy thoughts of weakness,
How we won’t make it through
this frozen tundra,
winter,
with its thrashing and bludgeoning.
Yet,
Hopeful for spring,
That icicles will crack their caterpillar cocoons,
And our tears will ride bicycles
on sunny days,
and board wayward trains
to far away destinations.
But For now it is December….
Fading into a soon forgotten January.
