Fazed

I am sorry,
I am slipping

Do not take my silence
Correction: Do not take my silence amiss
Do not take anything for granted

Do not mind me

as your eyes fuse
with the desert sun
far away.

Winter has come
with a vengeance,
freezing my laughter.

The blizzard has turned me brittle
and I write myself out
till I go blank
beneath the black sky.
