Ice On the Petal

Ice on the petal -a shadow slides in
Broadsiding virgin light is what shadows do best

As emotions summit, this is the time to dread most
when hearts are hammered 
by devilish anvils
coaxed along by blue ghosts. 

Gray attics are where all memories will lay
panic lives just below in a distraction called.. 
a new day

Ice on the petal
in the middle of heat waves
salted blackbirds halo the grave.
