shivers

Icy droplets of fear beat softly on our heartless ground

Through the harsh night and the imposing day

we march

Across the thin dashed line, forwards

trusting our legs to carry such a heavy burden

Through the tainted streets and broken lights

we march

When the white flags kneel

and the sirens cough out their sins

lungs bring breath

and eyes learn sight

a breath for a gaze

down to the steps

and back to the blurred line

from which we came from.

a gaze for the feel

of icy droplets of fear

beating softly on the unfettered soul

Through what’s left of the line

Through the short space in between

we march

Yet

Who do we march for?
