(tw; hypothermia, death) Having depression is like being caught out in a blizzard. At first, the cold seems like nothing. You're all bundled up in a fluffy coat, scarf wrapped around your face, hands slipped into gloves and tucked under your arms. But then the snow begins to fall, and the temperature drops, and it's like the chill is stripping you down, layer by layer, even though all your layers are still there. It gets colder, and you start to feel the effects of the chill, the fierce winter seeping into your bones, making it seem as though you only walked outside in a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt. Your body begins to numb as the cold starts, the weakest parts of you losing their feeling first. Your nose, your ears, your cheeks and your face and your fingers, all becoming completely numb, as if they aren't there anymore. And then your legs stiffen up, and you have trouble walking, even though you try so hard to keep moving, because you know if you stop, you're doomed. But you lose your ability to function, the cold causing almost complete ****** paralysis, and no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to keep moving. You fall to the ground, curling into a ball in the snow, trying to keep yourself warm, but the cold is too much. And as the hypothermia sets in, your brain tricks you into thinking you're actually warm, and you strip off the layers that were the only thing keeping you alive. And then it's over.

Depression
I love you Snowflake I hope you know wherever you float let the winds carry you home you can come my way & melt on my tongue my little fractal of inspiration infinitesimally spiraling & cascading into a blizzard of diamonds illuminates my mind This is what divines sung of

Snowflake
You're a volcano in winter Made when the Earth splintered Tectonic plates shifted And you were gifted The frigid air outside is subzero So you become my volcanic hero When you scorch the cold With your warmth so bold I await an eruption But there's a disruption Dormant you remain With suspicion engrained But entering your main vent Was not my main intent Yet now that I'm in your magma chamber I can see your anger You're made of lava and ash So you demand drama and cash And violently explode in a flash You've become my Krakatoa When I wish I didn't know ya Because of your grand magnitude I question my aptitude And insecurity ensues As confidence I lose I realize I've gone too far When I feel your lava discharge That pushes me into your crater The pain I feel couldn't be greater When all I see is an ashen cloud And all I hear is your lashing growl Inside of your volcano There is a tornado As sure as day glow I feel I must lay low And dodge the debris While playing referee As you're dissecting me In your burning sea That swirls in a cyclone maelstrom Hell is where it was mailed from I receive it Reprieveless I begin to drown in fire And wish to retire You think you're neat Yet despite your heat You're a cold blooded lizard But outside there's a blizzard So I get used to your volcano I can't contain my disdain though

Volcano
# *The cycle of the seasons once again presents a change. Greens and blues are now the colors, as the scene has rearranged. Crepe Myrtles shed their blossoms in blizzard, pinks and reds, And bulbs with care once planted now emerge from flower beds. I walk upon a sea of blue that waves with every breeze. Bluebonnets on the Texas plains, a view that's sure to please. They ripple with the grass in tempo with the wind. How lovely to just sway and hear the message that they send. It seems as though the world awakens, stretching with a yawn. As luscious grass emerges from the brown muck on my lawn.* #

Sea of Blue
Freezing a glance Wind cuffs down-white heliums Sweeps contrails Separates cirrus across the moon Cresting wave tormented wind against steel movement in movement sprays of hair Blizzard of petals from the apple Furious snow drifts off—  garage roof   Fog that haunts the river on the coldest nights _____________ The walk across the alley took— so long— A lifetime from the doorway of someone else’s impatience Prints of motion record the loss a single set in snow But there! on the icy, shoveled surface of night lies the snowflake of a bird impossibly molted Song of a feather caught— Flailing! Helpless! More than lovely for its lying there! Lying there!

White Downy Feather on Black Ice (still life)
The beauty of comatose can only be seen through the eyes of a wizard in a blizzard strutting in garlic slippers, or Christ with knees bent at the tabernacle peeling bananas and kicking prayers farther than eternity with each gapping second, or like Basquiat slumped back to the wall, with ounces of speedball dancing through his veins, eating 80’s free-based fried chicken *******   as his eyelids paints beautiful nightmares of lemon flowers and Bacchus bacon over a glycopyrrolate desert of flagrant cuckold buffoonery. Or like leprechauns burning chocolate ******* candles on the mantle of Zion, sipping oatmeal sprinkled with Staten Island malt liquor bacon. or like Tupac reading the thoughts of Mother Shipton through the daze of California cannabis and hearing the ominous voice of Plutarch sing death assignments from heaven to Assassins on horsebacks goggling ***** water to wet the dry bones of their throats as they prepare to fulfill the gospel of self-fulfilling prophecies of being fell by ***** bullets. Or like sophisticated wallets of spice and kitchen characters in a bald head cooking chemical kisses and 18 February nights under Moloch’s skin, where constitutions are written in charcoal diaries with Egyptian ciphers and razors. “I had rain sowed into the pockets of my sneakers and composed 1310 eulogies at the basement of king David’s tower,” said the Kraftwerkian caricature, as he dangles cigarettes in remembrance of Klaus Nomi and philosophizes on the proliferation of poetic vandalism at urinals where modernism failed under the phosphorescence of coloration at the avenue of no trees where Picasso's "Guernica" **** Lies All.

* Never Have I felt a December So cold, so lonely. The walk along the lake, That changed a fate The stumble in the snow, I didn’t let go. The daring walk, Onto thin ice Are you watching? My attempts to see a rise in you. So delicate was that goodbye Darkness, up the long road Upon the destination, no one knew I ran home, To see you waiting there. You waited for me, For hours I guessed. This time a true Goodbye We made a plan, So sketchy at first. Maybe Just nervous? Never knowing, what could unfold We changed our plans. Much more bold. I rambled on, For hours it seemed. Until we arrived, To a bran new scene Both so nervous, But we knew what we wanted. I motioned you closer, No cold shoulder. Comfortably sat, Until the movie was over We met some friends, later that night Continued to smile, Be polite. Just dreaming of holding you tight I think I might… A gentle kiss upon your lips I did not miss. Out in the cold, yet, All I felt was warmth The warmness of you and I, Another night Goodbye Sit next to me in the morning, The bell is ringing… I’m ignoring So captivated by your smile. Again I depart. Goodbye. The night before Christmas eve, We stayed awake for hours Until our wish Had finally come true Its been a year Since that December And yet I miss you, Just as much as I remember That December so warm, Now it plagues me with cold No longer we are. Growing old Goodbye December, December! How I hate you now Drown my mind In your white lies. No longer, Can I see your eyes I have grown old of these, goodbyes… December The month that will, Confuse me forever Lost in the blizzard Of my mind We always say that, “truth is hard to find” Goodbye DECEMBER goodbye… *

each man must realize that it can all disappear very quickly: the cat, the woman, the job, the front tire, the bed, the walls, the room; all our necessities including love, rest on foundations of sand - and any given cause, no matter how unrelated: the death of a boy in Hong Kong or a blizzard in Omaha ... can serve as your undoing. all your chinaware crashing to the kitchen floor, your girl will enter and you'll be standing, drunk, in the center of it and she'll ask: my god, what's the matter? and you'll answer: I don't know, I don't know ...

Pull A String, A Puppet Moves
Anorexia is not collar bones. It is the smell rotting of flesh as you dismantle your body bit by bit. Anorexia is not a thigh gap, it is your knees so weak they shake as you fall to the ground. Anorexia is not self control. It is the feeling of utter hopelessness as your life tornados into a blizzard of nothingness. Anorexia is not fashionable. It is your mother’s sobbing eyes as she sees her child dying Anorexia is not 80 pounds. It is the weight of a thousand pulsing suns on your shoulders. A thick black cloud in your mind, and rules spelled out like chains pulling you towards the ground. No matter what measure of gravity that you have in this earth, it still hurts, it’s still real. So to you 'pro anas' who so blindly say 'hunger hurts, but starving works' think before you act. Suffering is an addiction, please do not harm yourself with this affliction. - Emily Ward

Anorexia - For the so called 'pro anas'
i've come to realise that with every fallen snowflake the life of one unknown to me is reflected in its icy self. a snowflakes very existence relies on the individuality of its structure, similar to that of a human life. everyone has a different story to tell complicated to those who don't know complicated to those who do know complicated to all in a sense because we sit by and wonder why why are we here? what is the meaning of true purpose when uncertainty plagues the minds of all who breathe living in a time when the youth of our generation are born into an age so filled with hurt hate pain no common sense in a place where so many have tried to fight for the right of humanity. all we receive is inhumane behaviour and injustice uncaring and shallow acts when all we wish for is fairness and equality you see, although every snowflake is different their independent beauty co-depends on one another's existence how can you have a blizzard with a single snowflake? their imperfections bring out their perfections each one has a tale to tell each one brings out the beauty in one another. similar to human life have you ever realised the silent beauty in a cold winters snow? how when engulfed in a snowstorm, you are able to accept peace into your mind, you're able to let go? you're actually able to think for a moment, and realise the clarity that silence holds all that finally unfolds when you're able to take a moment for yourself and let out the breath you've unknowingly held you're finally able to delve into a sense of true finality a final sense of... raw serenity.

The day you died I went into the dirt, Into the lightless hibernaculum Where bees, striped black and gold, sleep out the blizzard Like hieratic stones, and the ground is hard. It was good for twenty years, that wintering -- As if you never existed, as if I came God-fathered into the world from my mother's belly: Her wide bed wore the stain of divinity. I had nothing to do with guilt or anything When I wormed back under my mother's heart. Small as a doll in my dress of innocence I lay dreaming your epic, image by image. Nobody died or withered on that stage. Everything took place in a durable whiteness. The day I woke, I woke on Churchyard Hill. I found your name, I found your bones and all Enlisted in a cramped necropolis your speckled stone skewed by an iron fence. In this charity ward, this poorhouse, where the dead Crowd foot to foot, head to head, no flower Breaks the soil. This is Azalea path. A field of burdock opens to the south. Six feet of yellow gravel cover you. The artificial red sage does not stir In the basket of plastic evergreens they put At the headstone next to yours, nor does it rot, Although the rains dissolve a ****** dye: The ersatz petals drip, and they drip red. Another kind of redness bothers me: The day your slack sail drank my sister's breath The flat sea purpled like that evil cloth My mother unrolled at your last homecoming. I borrow the silts of an old tragedy. The truth is, one late October, at my birth-cry A scorpion stung its head, an ill-starred thing; My mother dreamed you face down in the sea. The stony actors poise and pause for breath. I brought my love to bear, and then you died. It was the gangrene ate you to the bone My mother said: you died like any man. How shall I age into that state of mind? I am the ghost of an infamous suicide, My own blue razor rusting at my throat. O pardon the one who knocks for pardon at Your gate, father -- your hound-bitch, daughter, friend. It was my love that did us both to death.

Only death was left. Death of creatures. Death of bushes and flowers and trees. Death coated the landscape like a blizzard. Layer upon layer it continued to pile high. They all tried to dig themselves out. But soon it became so overwhelming   that the very people who were digging, were enveloped in its icy grip. But even as death squeezes the land dry there will come a day when even death must die.

What of Death?
Dear friends and family, Have you ever noticed the silence of the forest? Not a sound penetrates these dense thickets of brown and green, and when you walk you can feel the stillness, the tranquillity and serene. Footsteps stir the dust creating a blizzard, it stays when you progress, even the earth's natural instinct is to dissolve back into nothing. The forest light never shines, and come to think of it neither does mine, because i've travelled deep enough in and there is no returning. The fauna here is beautiful, so much life when there is death, birds chirping out their sweet call as if begging for me to not end this nature walk, and when I do I know they wont stop chirping, their life will go on, as will you when you come to terms with what I've done. I have to find the perfect spot and more than not a perfect place, because when I leave this earth I want to give back to natures grace. I will be a bird, free to explore the next journey without the burden of the world. I am ready, I want to fly with the assistance of my noose I wont have to stay alive. Dear friends and family, Have you ever noticed the stillness of the forest? because I do not make a sound.

I am the God of all that is dank, dark, and cold. My sisters are the autumn chill and the winter wind. Touch me, turn to ice. Hold me in constant hypothermia. I will shatter your heart and freeze your sorrow. You can't hold a candle to me, my presence extinguishes heat. Very few can handle my words, with a frozen mind to follow. I am what fire is not. I am the blizzard storm.

The Ice God
Snow: years of anger following hours that float idly down— the blizzard drifts its weight deeper and deeper for three days or sixty years, eh? Then the sun! a clutter of yellow and blue flakes— Hairy looking trees stand out in long alleys over a wild solitude. The man turns and there— his solitary track stretched out upon the world.

Blizzard
I feel a little confused Like I have something to figure out A little twisted up and chewed My mind is racing on doubt. I'm trying to put my thoughts Into words in this writing My hand it jots The nails on my fingers I am biting. It's hard to say how I feel But I definitely know that I am feeling Everything inside is real I just have to find it by peeling. My skin it itches from nerves I look sallow and wrecked I've stretched myself thin and over all the curves I can no longer object. I had to cry today Because I drove myself up a wall Repressing things I've wanted to say Has somehow made the mountain I have, to climb, very tall. It's not like my problems are anything important But I guess they tend to wear me ragged It's sometimes because I can be expectant Of people and things that are jagged. I have some things I still need to learn But I'd rather be learning then at a stop Like how not to expect and sometimes not to yearn And when to skip, rather than to hop. I try to keep my heart open wide But that leaves it to be bruised I have to let some things subside And not let myself feel used. I'll learn to be compassionate But still protect myself Though somehow I feel like I'm in debt To all the dolls on the shelf. I conclude this work of emotion Still upside down and withered At least I've crossed further, the ocean But I have yet to meet the blizzard.

"An Emotional Journey"
Skin as white as snow Her heart, ice cold Everyone looked at her in fear She decided that she couldn’t stay here Like the wind, She fled In the blizzard, She disappeared Everything she saw; Everything she touched Froze in its place Glowed as she stayed Each creation, different each time Not one in itself was the same All her creations were just like her: A snowflake: just as unique.

Life can be painless Provided there is sufficient Peacefulness For a dozen or so rituals To be repeated simply Endlessly Your genius does not fail you It allows you to understand the Truth of the situation; Which makes you--at times-- more tragic than ever And your genius, like all geniuses Suffers periodic fits of monumental naïveté Hi-ho Listen: Where is Grace When milk and blood Are about to be added To the composition of the Stinking ping-pong ***** being manufactured In Grand Rapids? Schizophrenia The sound and appearance Of the word fascinates It sounds and looks to me Like a human being Sneezing in a blizzard of Soapflakes This much we know: You made yourself hideously Uncomfortable by not narrowing Your attention to details Of life that were immediately Important And by refusing to believe what Your neighbors believed Hi-ho Let your imagination continue To be the flywheel on the Ramshackle machinery of the truth. But not the ‘awful’ truth The ‘beauty’ in truth Because we are a part Of a system that is very Restless, With people tearing around All the time Every so often, somebody stops to put up A monument Ours is a country where Everybody is expected to Pay his own bills for Everything, And one of the most Expensive things a person Can do is get sick Grace: Because if we stay here We’ll do one of two things (or both!) Build a Commune Or do like Collin Heise did: Make the main thing that we do be this: Move seventy-eight Thousand pounds of olives To Tulsa, Oklahoma Even if we can’t Improve the quality of our surroundings We’ll do our best to make our Insides beautiful instead Piebald Roadtrip-writing, baby Hi-ho You are the turtle able to live anywhere even under water for short periods With your home on your back A particular comfort in Realizing that it so often feels There is no order in the World around us That we must adapt ourselves to The requirements of Chaos instead Remember: We are healthy Only to the extent that Our ideas are Humane To you To me To ourselves To We

Frozen solid in a block of ice A wedding ring shines bright The blizzard came out of nowhere Trapping her in the night Three days later they find her body Frozen from her head to her toes A stranger all alone lost in the snow A woman that nobody knows They brought her body back to town And laid her in the stable What happened next was miraculous Some say only a fable Weeks went by that turned to months But her body would never decay She looked the same as the day she was found Until that faithful day A farmer in the spring was plowing his field And the bones of a man was found A wedding ring was glistening in the sun Where he laid on top of the ground They brought the bones back to town And laid them beside his bride As soon as the two were together again Her skin became broken and dried They buried them both beneath an oak That stood between two springs When no names were found to write on the cross They mounted their wedding rings

The Wedding Rings
Take my hand hold on through the quicksand of my expressed agony for I’m trying to bring us past the vanity and the demonic hailings I paint can as swiftly change to angels sailing past the hate my words can take you from a pearless white night with only the moon in sight then twist that light back to the sun’s beaming might surround you in a blizzard with imagery so vivid it cuts through the snow like a rock in a rivers flow bring you from the crumbles of earthly ruins to the humble pearly white gates of heavenly viewings invoke you in anger & apathy a firery rage bellowing until you hear a fazed echoeing pulling you from the depths of mind to the paradise I envisioned for mankind corrupt you with illness of doubtful hate then present a panacea of a hopeful fate I know I’m just a man, but take my hand and I’ll show to your there’s more to us than a monotonous plan

I believe things happen for a reason Whether it's God or the force Some kind of cosmic power pulling strings and writing stories I'm not sure But I can tell you that I have somehow defied my own odds The choices I made did not take me away I am here There were times when I didn't think I would make it my high school graduation and that I would not see my 18th birthday The scars on my arms multiplied And the demons in my head screamed louder than ever before I lost my first love Then I lost my second I watched my family explode from close range And then I watched from a far Every insecurity swirled in my head like a blizzard I could not see a bright future And then something clicked Something bigger than myself took hold of my mind My heart was no longer heavy And I don't know if that's God stepping in or my own power of will But I have somehow managed to save myself And I know there is no quick fix to this disease that has held me captive for so long But I'm realizing that you should never stop moving when it gets dark Never quit breathing when the air gets thin And never back down even when your opponent is twice your size Or even when your opponent is yourself I know things happen for a reason That's obviously why I'm still here And although there is still a dark cloud over me I can start to see the sun beams And I know one day my sky will be clear

When men were men, Mountain men, they would shout out a small greeting to those approaching, some were very discriptive...here is mine: Born in a blizzard, back in a grizzly's cave, drank wolf milk, use a knife to shave. Can out spit, out run, out shoot any known man alive. Can fight two or more men just to keep it fair, now get down from your horse and tell me what the hell your doing here! Man I tell you I was born in the wrong century. Open land, cooking outside, trade my furs for a good woman. Shoot guns, drink whiskey...hell it don't get any better then that. Course I would change a few things, like..I would need my toilet paper, that corn husk thing , well I'm not for all that. I'd have to figure out how to put a heater and windshield on that horse of mine too. I'd **** sure would get me a better rifle then that Hawkins( mind you it was the rifle of its time) just to even up the score when them city slickers start trying to sneak away my whiskey. Ah, yes just rambling. Anyways back to the real world.
