A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.

in the early hours
tossing and turning 
half the night long

And dash outside
Grab your...

No one listens or cares anyway
Chanting and screaming in my head
“How dare you feel this dread-dread”

Cradling my dreams

Tossing and turning

The words so eloquently hanging in space

Are consequently just as they were described

Words

Filled with fluff and not enough substance
I want to give you the world

my clavicle. I thought
