Winter’s Coming Overhead fly bombs and angels, each on God’s mission, while we in our cellars cower, afraid to live, afraid of death. Wind rattles the panes; a banshee shriek through the cracks. The last candle flickers, wavers between darkness now or darkness later. I am cold, and all I wanted was someone to share my threadbare blanket. Fingers stiff, paper brittle, ink too thick to flow, I scratch the words invisibly and listen to them fade. Brian Skinner November, 2001

Morning Ritual Each day more of my father glares at me from the mirror with a scowl on my face. All I’ve shunned, I’ve become. Some days I smash the mirror, each crack a scar or wrinkle, wishes unfulfilled yet undiminished. There is a medicine chest full of anger. On other days I am compassionate, forgiving everybody everything, but not myself, for anything. As the man in the mirror says: "When God gave out brains, you must’ve been in the bathroom." Brian Skinner November, 2001
