i can see it so very clearly… especially
  since her passing… this white expanse
  of land that lays all around me on
  every side.
there are no buildings… no trees… no
  river brooks… and most certainly
  no people to cloud my view.
  there is simply white. a plain of land
  covered by snow for as far as
  the eye can see.
the cold does not make me shiver…
  nor does the solitude. for this
  remote location is of my choosing.
  i am not scared of losing my mind
  here… for it lay in the casket
  next to her.
