Peering out of
his ice-encrusted window
(The ice is on the inside), the child’s attention
Focuses on ice crystals
Melting with every warm breath.
Once they’re gone
they’re gone;
Water drips onto the bare wooden window casement,
Disappearing into the rotting wood.
Nothing lasts for
long and
Nothing survives, except perhaps
False memories and broken promises. |

“Hi,
Here’s a depressing little poem. Just thought I’d give it a
try. Thanks.”
