Unbroken

Mountain river less frigid, frozen waterfalls crack Ice spear impales torso entering through his back Perished upon a skewer preserved neatly stacked Unseen inside the ravine a glazier starts to attack Grinding away on boulders down gully's, erosion tracks His lifeless body still inside is gradually turning black 800 years doing hard time ice tomb at last goes slack Releases a lifelong prisoner Worse for wear, fully intact ''U'' Contest, New Poems Only Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France 11/14/21

With climate change and global warming I wonder what other secrets the ground will give up. Enjoy your week ahead David. Tom

Thank you Tom, yes indeed we might get more than we bargained for, from the great melt, perhaps some ancient trapped virus will release, nobody knows, cheers David

Thank you Lasaad, every now and then the glaziers give up some secrets that's been hidden within in them for eons, unfortunately they are becoming more like past relics themselves as the planet heats up, cheers David
