Melancholia


Endless winter of dirty snow...

Stars, like unwanted babes, 
tossed down dry wells.

 Our breath cold as glass... 

 Touch unable to rescue
the life lost in speaking.

    I like this very much David. The bare starkness of it. I think I'd have left the dry out of the well though.

    Perhaps abandoned instead? S

    I looked it over. Its not so much the word itself but the alliteration that doesn't quite work for me. S

    P.S. Favorite line: "Life lost in speaking".
