I wonder often why we wish to bear
o’ hours of throe and mournful din, 
sigh and bleed, withering leaves ―
feel angst and bliss of wintry wind.

Your touch as though sizzling flame
with eyes that long in darkness pelt.
This comforts although acute is pain,
in pools of conjecture would never 
drown again.

And though I’d prefer to rejoice in the
rain, couldn’t bear to tear myself away
from the mist.
