You Were Part of Me Before We Came Here Lyrics by Mt. Oriander

Then the Lightness Leaves and I Become Heavy Again

2022

Early spring, Michigan
Walking down streets without sidewalks
Snow caked gray from dirt and car exhaust
Winter hanging on like a once-proud prize fighter
Putting his body through hell out of pride
Or fear of losing either the only thing he ever loved
Or the only thing he was ever good at
My breath still visible
Clinging to me like wet clothes
My lungs ache from eagerly swallowing frigid air
As though it was my last breath on earth
I tell myself that the sting from breathing is a rite of passage
A sort of ritual that celebrates thе changing of seasons or rebirth
I have nowhеre to go
My feet trudge on
Heavy from the potential that the new year brings
Is already dying on the vine
The sun is bright
It is reflecting off the snow and I am blinded
