prophecy of ice.

winter pink,
pinched cheeks.
ice skate scrapes -
flecks of flakes.

the snow queen

So I was feeling badly,
sad,
because I share our mutually complicit status
for my compatriot's difficult terrorizing

Wondering if she could feel the pain
Dancing all over me
Running through my bloodstream
Pulsating...
