The Winter Road
By: Anabell Lebosana

The whistling, whooshing west wind in December,
Causes my heart to reach its bleak and whiter.
It’s like I am wake and ware but still wane.
Sound of silent huffing of breath is screaming pain.

Cold rising bold akin to snake’s hold,
Gripping, sneaking, hissing up to open wold.
The path behind is veil of silence, a blanket of darkness
     Nothing is there but a winter road devoid of presence.
