DIARY
DIARY
If I’d had a diary
I could have called it Dear
and told it all the stories
that no-one cared to hear
SURVIVAL
SURVIVAL
There are wolves
everywhere and closer
Your parents are busy flailing
at the snarling snouts and dripping fangs
Busy wrapping their own
and each other’s bloody wounds
While you curl up, cold and lonely
in the bottom of the sleigh
thinking, I’ll die if someone
doesn’t pick me up and hold me soon
FROM A SADDER TIME
FROM A SADDER TIME
Prairie boy, tumbleweed, rolling forever
and the only rest if he should tire
is against barbed wire
