Hard winter

Winter bows down
Another year reflects back
More broken than the last season like this
The wind bites at our ears
Crisp turned bitter
Can we build back from bitter?
Chills swill around heads
No deep
No crisp
No even
Around here
Heads bowed to earth turned hard with worry
Frozen anguish
We languish and wish
We didn’t see this
Feel this
Know this
Time
