Finger to the Sky

The snow fell like a windmill that night

Round and round

We huddled by the gleaming graffiti fire

Like crows singing cycles round a corpse 

Only to find our souls frozen on the line

Crouching in the dark

A mass inverted consciousness 

Fading fast beyond my finger to the sky

I'm seeing this two ways. Either way I see resilience in the face of something trying.
The finger to the sky gives me two pictures though, one is someone reaching to the stars as if for help or guidance the other is 'the finger' in an f/u sort of way as if to say you won't be broken. Really neat. What does it mean to you?

This was written by firelight on a camp out. That night it got extremely cold and the group I was with had not expected this weather change. But it was really kind of an "f/u" moment because we were all broken. We were freezing our butts off! lol

Ha! That's awesome, love that. I can totally relate. :)
