MOTHER NATURE
The days roll by slow
As the cold wind blows
Where am I supposed to go?
Hell, I don't know
My hands are numb from the cold
Can't read the map that I hold
Probably because it's so old
And has way too many folds
It's all worn out from the time
It gives directions, but I can't read mine
The answers I need are hard to find
Is this some sort of sign?
Questions go unanswered
Like not having a cure for cancer
Digging for clues makes my hands hurt
Mother Nature, do you understand her?

around the frail, brittle
by Haley Gray
Walking On ice
The vast sheet of ice which I come upon
at the end of the curving
tire-track road,
is illuminated by a moon
