Naked

Over the gleaming ice she skates, Dressed in skates----that's all. Leaning on back, so nice she skates, Smooth and straight, can't fall. Mirrored with sky she glides on by, Doubling in naked blue; Free in the flesh she glides on by, Free in spirit, too. Into the freezing air she glows, Wearing the air, naught else. Boldly alive in cold that grows A flaming love of self.
