Homeward Bound
Slumped shoulders
it seems I forgot
how to breath as skin
hardens like a shell
and I cannot dispel
this awkward curse
giving me six feet
worth of dirt in sack cloth
and I will carry it home
over slumped shoulders
across the miles which
are layered in the depth
of Winter
and these tired knees
will bend until I am home
once again

Interesting...I will admit the first lines drew me in...had to slow down and take in the six feet lines then came back to being drawn in again at the last two ending lines! Thanks for sharing!
