Frozen and Scared

Stuck in snow, in sand, in marsh :

marshmallows are over, sorry. 

frozen and scared:

cold meat in cold basement.

Whats there in your basement ?

Enough firewood to see it through ?

frozen and scared:

Look back - but to what ?

Whats there inside of you ?

Stripper - strip it out. 

frozen and scared:

like peas in poly bags.

What screams within -

Death ? Death ? Death ?

frozen and scared:

That's how the dead lie.

Nothing to look back to.

a dream to march to.

tears to shed and sweat to burn

you have no time to lay

frozen and scared.

Cry now, child. 

Let it go.
