Further (for Too-Far) / Millard Lawson

The best thing for the cold is whipping wind;
The thing for wild despair, is war.
Further, only, may console Too-far.

I too, O gloomy plains!
I too would hold the whole wind in my chest,
And lie so still my mouth fills up with Rime.


Millard Lawson is a poet from North Dakota. He has been recently published in Guernica Magazine and American Chordata. He is working on a novel in verse.
