They Will All Betray You

by Robin Quant

 

They will
all
betray you
and
I'm not
afraid
to watch
because
I leave
tomorrow
for
the north,
time passes
slowly there,
the birds
kite in the sky,
the clouds
look on,
the things
you say
are near,
and time,
time passes slowly there,
it passes
and
I'm not
afraid
although
I feel
it so,
so cold,
time passes,
cold,
so very
cold,
so cold
outside.
