Glacial Freeze



Time has unfrozen-
melting seconds ooze
in liquid ice
upon your languid tongue
which is mute
as words dance away on the pine
covered trees.

A shock of beauty
pierced your frosted heart
brittle as the bare bone
softening the impenetrable facade.

Glacial freeze,
slow to run in
the spring fresh river
---the waves of time.

May we chill the trembles
of the clock?
Can we stop up the bottle of change
which has broken
in shards of diamonds?

omg, i don't know how you achieve such a MELODIOUS balance between figurative/literal language... which is super hard to do. (esp for me, at least)

such a pretty variation on your usual writing style, but it still preserves your voice. i think it's so amazing how we can look at a poem and immediately know who wrote it. i can always hear you in your poems, and it's vAnderfel.
<3 love you love you seester
