A cold front coming

A cold front coming
Grey skies
My dead-eyed
Straw-filled head
Empty of pleasure
Lost treasure
Was never found
In my dead pool
The wickedness
Of detachment
The enormity of loss
So many have suffered
Alone
None should ever do so
Come together
Build a fire
Burn my bones
Thaw my sorrow
Left frozen
Far too long
Sheltered in the deep
With no perception
Of the impact
Of the cold
Roll away the stone
Open my dead eyes
There is a human
Trapped inside
He is
A prisoner
In waiting
