Cold by David NeubauerThe cold, slowly slipping between bones,
insinuating itself into the deepest crevices,
ice, spread on the ground, in the arteries,
solid, unfeeling, heavy inside.
The wind, a constant blowing snowstorm,
a deadly mix of exhiliration and numbness,
an apathetic, objecitve destroyer of the
heat and peace we find inside.
But some, standing, cloak astride the wind,
find comfort in the cold, their eyes burning,
trying desperately to pinpoint the reason,
the meaning of their existance in the cold.
Who knows if they ever will find it,
or if they will just freeze.
