Your children said
you might have been confused,
maybe you were walking in your sleep,
were blinded by the snow,
you’d lost your way.
The neighbors said
you had been acting strange,
maybe you were walking off your fears,
since John’s been gone
you hadn’t been the same,
they think perhaps that
you had lost your way.
The expert said
he couldn’t speculate
why you’d be outside walking in a storm,
but he’d confirm the cause:
a frozen heart,
direct result
of having lost your way.
