Our Rock Salt Lives and the Lady Spring

Travis Weis

It’s arduous breathing in such coldness.
The thin serrated air slicing at your throat.
Our only defense is shallow breaths to parry the slashes.
Yet here you are, defenseless.
Hellishly sobbing in the snow and ice.
What could be so harrowing?
How could something hurt you so completely
That the tormenting winds pear of anguish
Is swallowed and forgotten as easily as the morning’s orange juice?
Were you a royal of some distant land
Banished to the plains of Minnesota falsely accused of treason and adultery?
A movie star preparing for a role?
Up and comers first lucky break after sleeping with every director they could
Just to give this torturous rendition of a live-action Frozen?
If a career is what you need may I suggest funeral crier?
I’d consider having one if I could be assured someone would cry like this for me.
Shit, I’d consider dying if I’m assured that you’d attend.
Is it possible for an individual person to be responsible for something like this?
Whoever could hold such a power is dangerous.
I would surely hope to never encounter them.
Look around, little siren reincarnate.
All the people have turned to trees at the sound of your cries.
The wind doesn’t cut them, instead whistling as it darts through their branches.
Stop crying little one.
The trees are beautiful, and the snow was melted by your tears.
Lady Spring, your work is done, now let’s go see the flowers as they bloom.
