i settle into myself
as the bear that hibernates, settles into her habitat
during the cold season
the same season overtakes me
re-writing my dreams
leaving me miserable and sad
fighting to stay above the freezing water
carefully treading over the solid ice
covering the lake of my thoughts
trying not to let the shooting pains
in my extremeties
catch wind of my fear
leaving patches of dryness
on the leaves of my skin
holding on so as not to break away...
s.m.
