Dreary days
March 13, 2022•91 words
on dreary days like this
it takes just a sound
a memory
a scent, a line
to fall apart completely
the unabashed snow is relentless
turning it all white
even the blue sky is hidden
the birds have a canvas
but they're quiet
the silence is thick
the wind breaks it sometimes
but not gently
it is menacing, like a knife
and as night falls
it is absolutely obvious
I'm the only one in the world
I can't wait to close my eyes
to find some respite for now
until tomorrow
