POEM: we weathered winter (silence & shouting)
Mar 11, 2021
The more level they have me/ The more I cannot stand me
“I’ll Still Destroy You,” The National
we weathered winter once again
the sun slipping away later & later
daylight & hope expandingthis winter like all winters
was unlike any winter before
unlike any winter ahead#i imagine late at night
you do not understand
the silence & shoutingeverything ascending
into the trees
completely quiet & afraid#how we huddle here
like lovers entwined asleep
hoping with springmaybe there will be drums
maybe there will be horns
maybe there will be singing—P.L. Thomas
