                 The Sundogs of a Winter's Ice

                 Before you throw rocks
                 through my embittered windows

                 listen for the deeply stained noise
                 of pointless chatter draining
                 from the backwaters
                 of this slackened life

                 or for the gutteral growls
                 of a pack of mutts feasting
                 on the freeze-dried meat
                 of my remains

                 you too will face time and trial
                 and soon enough share this pain
                 in your shattering memory
                 of exploding glass

a really sad plea and dark frightening warning. its really powerful stuff.

you too will face time and trial
and soon enough share this pain
in your shattering memory
of exploding glass

the last stanza just rounds it off really well.
