Terrible Fog Settling In Under an Enormous Comforter that fills the sky unleashing fury descending covering all who lie still one takes a nip of some comforting tonic coating momentarily blindly crossing a thin line that prevents one from knowing when the threshold between life and death has been crossed one cannot sense the eclipsing hollow feeling inside muffled cries are useless gurgles in the larynx there is no one to answer to resuscitate the airway you cannot hear me rattling long ago this fear propelled me by force of will to survive already aware that no aid would come life forfeited is best not to feel once ere I was a mother, sister, spouse, lover organized and planned my affairs despite being cuddled cooed hugged an uneasy life span has passed I am alone again alive by virtue of not by my own volition weighted down possessed shedding every last encumbrance until I am heard no more a steeple bell does not peal for me there is frozen silence no one asks and all hurry on to their appointed tasks no one will ever witness my passing in the new fallen snow under a lamp-post in the middle of the State Capitol grounds covered with snow
