terror keeps the keys to the best icy burrows and
terror clings to things today vapid and invisible before
still it's fine I've got well watered landscape
and plenty of time away from school
I'm happy to say the least
though I can't make it right
with or without a fight
a comfort somehow
dawn reveals the life extinguished by my icy window
overflowing with prisoners
I wonder if he'll last beyond tonight
I said to her as mud clung to the towel
from carrying some crippled prize
broken but still alive
so as she blames the dog for what I alone have done vain
outcomes of guiltlessness multiply inside me despite
all of her mercy which I take without question no
never again I tell myself loathing every cell in my body
though I can't make it right
with or without a fight
a comfort someday
