Endurance

Snow falls gently in my mind

Heavy eye brows direct my intensity

Things are firing in rapid tones

Some tones cut like knives

While others assuage

Like a potato poultice

I roll on my haunches

And endure

Yet I wonder when the inevitable

Will rise with the sun

When the snowflakes will melt

When will entropy dissipate

When will love end

And for what reason

My muscles are quivering now

I am losing my resolve

For a time I stood against it all

Existing with stoicism

At the end

I could see a young girl

In the glen with the same resolve

I imagined her body full of snow flakes

And I was proud of her

And I knew who we were
