original poem – my foundation

the howl of broken promises
a dying dream scream 
endlessly imagining 
all moments away 

in a burn 
finding myself back at base 
the wind my only roar
the warm summit
flickering into fade

there is nowhere to climb 
only small steps over and over
a rich chill 
disturbs every slumber

my tears are the only shimmer
underneath matte moonlight
a shiver creeps deeper
rattling bone and soul 

 into one thing more
clumps of haze 
colliding and scattering
tumbling into storms and rage
