Looming down in a corner;
overshadowing senses.
Room enough to please what I feel:
night shivers of yestertimes.
Guess I could run them through my mind.
Being left, but then the pain,
salty taste down my smile.
Counting the cracks I left behind.
Oh, then I deal them in the wintertime,
With a dying flame near to warm me
And Death near to charge me,
when it's briny.
