Mood Swing Preface

I grit my teeth … gear down to low
the pressures build … I’m stronger, though
The winter’s whip, its lonely hour
I’m in its grip and I feel its power

turn my collar, stiffer squint
“waiting is” for the first summer’s hint
the older lines in the mirror mock
I wait for love ‘beneath the winter’s walk
