Limbs crack and break
Under grey
Cottage cheese snow
And the woods transformed
Into a barren battlefield
Fallen foe and friend
Frozen and forgotten on
The forest floor
In the end
the littered cigarette buds,
plastic coated coffee cups,
the subconscious transaction
of future for convenience
Will be tried
as murder.
We all take a sip,
When we choke on air,
swallow toxic cake
whole.
Water thicker than ash
Slowly waiting
For lead poisoning
To take us all
