SNOW MELTS SLOWLY THE BODIES UNFREEZE
THE CORPSE OF OUR CHILDHOOD, AN UNTOUCHED CRIME SCENE
RETURNING TO THE PLACE WHERE OUR INNOCENCE LOST
EXAMINING THE VANISHING ICE, STILL YOU WANT TO COLLECT IT AND SHAPE IT INTO A MAN
ANOTHER FANTASY, ANOTHER DREAM KEPT FROM ME
I STAY WHERE I STAND
IN THE CENTER OF THE FIELD, INADEQUATELY DRESSED FOR WINTER’S INDISCRIMANANT WRATH
STARING AT A COMPASS, NOT KNOWING HOW TO READ IT, FINDING THAT NORTH IS EVERYWHERE
THE GRASS IS YELLOW, THE SKY IS WHITE, THE TREES ARE RED
MAKING IT KNOWN
THAT WINTER IS NOT REAL; ITS NOT A SEASON BUT A CAPSULE OF CATHARSIS
- Title: Returning to a Battlefield
