Selfishly marooned
To the peaks of his mind
In a rolling, alpine mist

A friendship slaves
For the murderous white void
Inching higher and higher
Toward an unworthy glow

True friends are amassed
To retrieve the accursed
The engulfed prey of gloom
Of blizzard, of slope and shroud

They will find their remorse
In a tiresome climb

They will find his spent tatters
In some high
And sorrowful place
