LIFE AS PURGATORY

Another bleak spring

with cold rain growing

towards a summer of

bitter memories. Grief

rules the life now, gripping

our minds in a tightening

hold; we are lost through

our mistakes: Purgatory

without no exit to Paradise.

Here we suffer,

here we wither

from season to season,

echoes of the years

that were.
