semper tristis

this cold will always prevail through and through
back twisted and rootwise, soiling the hours held
precariously, our earthbound slips and starts
buried in the deep hush below
if this is your disquiet
if here is where the start ends and the end begins
then bleed until drip-dry
a sonorific slip of torqued tongue
no matter the distance, the shadows keep chase.
