Big Bad Wolf

Depression stalks
the depths of my spirit

Temporary shelters
come easily,
the straw huts of drugs, but
this predator destroys them
with an easy
      huff and a puff.

Only hard work
      chopping, sawing, sanding
shapes the raw wood of humanity
into a log cabin of friends, but
under this carnivore’s strongest attacks they
SNAP
like the twigs they really are.

I have to dig deep
      into the mud of my soul
to find the best clay.
I must subject it to the harshest fires
      of will
to bake it into the
bricks
that make my fortress.
