Hypothermia Heart
February 24, 2022
A lush spring day turns to a frigid winter night
As the cheerful sun
A source of light
exits my view
Replaced by a
Frozen void of darkness and snow
lit up only by the vast moon and the cold green blue hues of the northern sky
Memories of the light drive my quest to leave this
Expanse of isolation
I venture towards the light alone
Open and vulnerable
As I approach the warmth of the exit
A frigid, angry hand
Tightly grips me from behind
It drags me away
I hear my bones crack
My end nearing
In one painful red burst
I am banished
To an afterlife of oblivion
