hate the days,That come in different shades,Indecipherable and unknown to me,Blind, yet all I see.Is a time to again wear the mask,The very same that lay with cracks,For the talking of a plagued

http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/emartin618/1167966/ May tonight, I'll do things twice,And walk through this city of ice,Burning myself on the frost so cold,Winter's touch being old.Encasing all

floor,Relief within a bottle still,A mist to break the dying chill.A mask to relieve the stress,A rag to clean the mess,The pale, choking, airless shell,Cold, gripping, arms from hell.A mist to soon revive,Allow this body, for a moment, to thrive,To br.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/emartin618/1067260/ Sometimes giving up is for the best
