Avalanche

Lisa Stanley
Thirty feet deep

And

Still falling

Not learning

From the

Past

Forget it

And play

Relive

It when it all

Comes back

To haunt

You

And replay

The same defeated song

Don't ask

For mercy

Or help

To find your

Way back

Up the mountain side

Only to

Fall again

As soon as the

Wind brushes

Your skin

And the touch

Beguiles you
