WINTER by Brian Rosenberger

They say Winter doesn’t forgive

Gospel, true as the grave is cold

But it does forget

Eyes snow blind with hope, believing

The lies told with frozen breath

A blizzard of desperation

Lies like everything is under control,

No cause for alarm, do not panic,

We are safe

False reality melts with

Spring time thaw

Truths now revealed

Their prisons of ice melted

Now rivers of freedom

The Dead of Winter

Resume their stunted march

Their frost bitten victims

The dead of Summer

If they survive that long
