Glacier Ice

Frozen, crystallized, jagged
glacier ice travels
toward freedom
toward the sea

a thunderous crash
ice shelves splash
calving free
falling into the sea

tenacious waves
appease serrated edges
rolling over but not dead
ice drifts with the sea

radiant in the sun
marbleized white and blue
dissolve in the warmer currents
death hastened by the sea.
