Can’t you see it’s all absence?
Cakes of ice remaining here
‘Can’t’ is now the only word.
Country under white blankets.
Carved initials beg for help.
Carry all the corpses home.
Coping mechanisms fail.
...and the rest of the world

MAKING LIFE BETTER
Ooh, this is kind of apocalyptic with these lines:
“Carved initials beg for help.
Carry all the corpses home.
Coping mechanisms fail.”
But, truly, it’s a solemn piece. Very well written.

Cold is what I dread these days, Larry, and the repetition of the hard ‘c’ in your Pleiad is like stammering and shivering among cakes of ice. I am not looking forward to snow.

You captured well what right now feel like. Doom and gloom.
I however long for cold and snow. At least then there would be some light in the world.
