kindling our deepest fears,
always drowning in our tears.
realizing all our hells,
mellowing alarum bells.

It may be winter outside

Squirrel Karma

Bury your gems,
Hide your wealth,
Across the commonwealth,
Map out your co-conspirators,
And paintings on the walls,
Speak to each one,
About what is going on.
