Thaw

Thaw

A noise that starts off slowly

Imperceptible in the background

Slowly

Building

A bit of a crack in the distance

Then suddenly a thunderous roar

The sounds of the thaw

Permeate

Invade

Time has come to move forward

Spread out from winter’s grip

Its hold gradually lessens

Then

With a snap

It is over

The silence is deafening

B. A. E.

Broken, bleeding, and bruised

I raise a battered hand

To have it brushed aside

Would you have me beg?

Is this betrayal?

Bittersweet and blue

My feelings were not to be borrowed

But you could not be bothered

Barging forward

Without a backward glance

We should break it off

Before Anyone Else

Burns
