True North

 (Written July 18, 2023)


Yeah, we have attitude

Sarcasm, even venom

That's our wall 

Don't suggest it's weakness

We'll likely take your head off 


The stories are deep here, make no mistake

But they don't drip like syrup 

And run through our blood

Oh no, not here


They crystallize in our cells

We breathe them out 

Like when your breath turns to ice in winter

When the air runs out 

We walk on, stone faced 


The horrible and the beautiful 

All at once, it's all here 

Just don't ask most of us to talk about it
