to see

this nothingness,
a rope around my feet
marked in stains & aches
burnt remains
sullied & unclean
grasping at waters
waiting blind for to see

go away cold
i give hills empty

    Has winter arrived?

      That remains to be seen. Weather wise, we’re getting our first peek under Nature’s skirt. In all other senses, it is still wait and see. 😊

    Nice one. Pretty damn bleak. As it happens we are at the tail end of a nasty heatwave where I’m at. A different kind if bleak perhaps.

      Thank you. Yeah, heatwaves are just bleak on the opposite end of the stick from deep winter. 😊
