The first glimpse of her was like ten of the worst brutes I ever met
catching me with their best punch square in the face.
And I went down like a dead man, like a fool, like a sinner who had found the other side
with just enough time to know it before being incinerated
by the star-white light of final absolution.
I finally got back on my feet, ready to take my stab at whatever it is
that passes for bliss on this plane of whole truths
and the lies we're telling ourselves at the moment.
She said that it wasn't going to be that easy.
There is a world out there that has to be faced, she reminded me.
Faced without letting it devour you, I reminded her.
We smiled. It was time to come in from the cold.
