Unbecoming

This morning I stood in the 

Cold 

Quiet 

Stillness 

I thought I felt

Peace 

I felt my heart 

Pounding 

The scream

Bubbled up from the depths 

All around me the neighbourhood dogs

Howled 

In communion 

The Gods trying to rip light 

Through the darkness I’m 

Stuck in 

This past year is reducing me to 

My most

Primal self 

Let her burn
