Winter earth
Hints of Spring
Ice sings a ripple song
Winter earth
Hints of Spring
Ice sings a ripple song
There’s a crack where ice meets the sun
A star open to the temporary
A hole to a cool underworld
I pause in this moment to ponder
My invitation to the party below
And yes, am I tempted
But so do I remember
Qualifications lacking
I am only half blind
Unstable when disconnected from earth
And cannot swim
Something
or someone gnawed
through the screen so
now nothing may stop
the sea from gaining
entry
nor me falling
out.
