Dark winter breeze bellows across
Flowing with incremental volumes
Rattling branches crackle from each gust
Shearing the last vegetation of autumn.
Remnants of summer scatter on the streets.
Rotting in amber beautiful as it can be.
Marking the start of a new equinox
Spine chilling feeling trickles through the bones
Mist of heat drifts in the wind
Vanishing into oblivion.
Through a numb mouth that cracks by time
Striding jittery through the unknown
Through a land that does not belong
Taking each step with unseen confidence.
Through a street vaguely lit.
Distant from domicile
Absence of peers
Learning from experience
Cultivating knowledge away from comfort zone
Enduring it with patience
All this for?
A better tomorrow.
