Winter Wonderings

Breaths against a windowpane My fingers all but still Cloth clad in worn out fad To ward off winter’s chill

Clinging to aged photos Keeping both my cheeks dry Silence shrouds and even clouds Beats of heart and war cry

Withered cheeks are all I feel My days of youth are gone Memories are memories Preserved and never wrong

A rumbling stomach follows My new friend and ally Food I toss, along with dental floss And decay faster than folly

When I am long gone, And no one is like me Will you still find, through law or crime You used to love me, slightly?
