How These Weathers Are Cold

Reluctant I kneel, glued to pew

Palms pasted in prayer

Asking what I missed back there

On the rusticated path that furcated & grew

Into a sudden asphalt jungle.  Where

My vertiginous pain reigned a decade more

Flooding my brain with kludge (more clutter than before.)

How & when did I become a spare

Part of wreckage in my own wracked world?

Swaybacked with padlocked baggage, lest I forget

What Pandora found & yet

Pandemonium won't stay bound forever. 

To unfasten a past, I'd brave that frenzied view

Of demons.  If only I knew I had you.

--Jennifer Juneau
