Fog

The fog’s captives
were held
motionless
and entranced —
frozen
in a bearingless
nothing.
There had existed
within them
only a moment
of anticipation
as the grey
encased them —
vacillations
between the loss
of one world
and acceptance
of another.
As its vaporous
cold snaked
through their
clothes and into
their bones,
it whispered
a silent boast
of how quickly
they could be
made to forget
all they thought
they knew
to be certain.
