Winter Funk
My head
a bucket of glue
slows my thoughts
drains my happiness
My heart
a lonely icicle
stabbing me with indifference
My tooth
absent
unable to crack the nut of understanding
My stomach
a bulging reminder
of that which I cannot conquer
My ankle
weakened by the charge through life
A wonder of engineering
likely to collapse when I need it
My mind
stable like a rock
filled with crevices of thought and wonder
but boring
and easy to climb over
