Thaw For a Narcissist

Never stop 
Smiling-- even if your world be walls
Put under skin, or from sick glaciers, 
Melting.  From your smile,
Reaches into the holes, stops the blood from
Bleedimg-- breaking on glassy tears, and upward.
Keep face. Love your smile; there is no expression
In that expression that can't burn the heart out, folding
Like a flush in the sun, sweet. Live your smile: reeling.
