Exposure

• Is it that we are dying?
• snow-dazed, sun-dozed, blossoms trickling
• Pale flakes with fingering stealth
• Less deadly than the air
• flights of bullets
• But nothing happens
• melancholy army
• war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy
• poignant misery of dawn begins to grow
• What are we doing here?
• we hear the mad gusts tugging on the wire
• But nothing happens
• merciless iced east winds
• Our brains ache
