When biting wind tangles your hair,
burns the eyes,
Days linger slowly at first but
suddenly you forget why.
Memories that tormented
fade into uneasy obscurity.
Passionate feelings mellow
into hungering friendship.
Hurried words, anxious moments leave
mind confused, ego pierced, soul wandering.
Realization permeates emotion, turns
love hollow; a dim, untrue experience.
And just-fallen leaves on rocky concrete
begin to crackle with each step,
Winter has set in.

Mothers and fathers,
Living and dead:
Blight of the past,
Is crowding your bed.

Collecting your enzymes,
Drying you up.

Pipe-smoking teachers'
Logical points
Freezing your thinking
And welding your joints.

Slick-covered Playboys'
Mechanical eyes
Puncturing your breasts
And deadening your thighs.
Mechanical eyes
Puncturing your breasts
And deadening your thighs.
Look to the left, up,
Down, front, back, and right
Spirits are locking you
Shut in the night.
Down, front, back, and right
Spirits are locking you
Shut in the night.
Pull knees to the chin,
Pull covers up tight
Be safe from the spirits
You see in the night.
Pull covers up tight
Be safe from the spirits
You see in the night.
