a winter blast of cold swooped down
into our valley a fews days past, a cold
we have never seen before and lingered
round about for several days before
our seasonal temps returned... we all
stayed inside unless we had to venture
outside, taking our chances with the
frigid air, bundled up, prepared if and
when the worst arrived... we are like
namads in this life of ours, wandering
here and there, trying to make sense
of it all... feeling our way around as
if every where we went was covered
in blankets of snow, freezing air, and
the companionship that gtrows tired
of it all very quickly nowadays... we
are tossed meatless bones of gratitude
for our work ethics, pushed aside if
our wealthy relatives arrive... we are
cast out and down upon the soil like
chicken feed, hoping that we do not
last or at the very least kill each other.
