I make my wish I wish for you
As I passionately ponder in fields of green
The hours pass you are long overdue
And now I awake from a dormant dream
A cadaverous construct in a silent scream.

Ice on my igloo
  roads frosted over
Cursed, cutting cadaverous cold 
  deathly chill from Calais to Dover

Thought it was nippy
  but my fingers are numb
Arctic algidity all around
  winds whistle, envelop my town

Why must we endure
  gelid, glacial Siberian air
Is warmth only comprehended
  when to harrowing cold it's compared...

Emaciated escape from hellion holes
Inefficacious inhabitants starving souls
Ferociously futile restless resistance
Penal petrifaction within their existence

Flaming forests in a haunting haze
Dancing demons within their blaze
Drowning death a voiceless view
The cadaverous condemned bid adieu.

Early Earth thaw
First gasp of breath
Heaves its snow chest
Like a blanket pulled back

Arches its cadaverous humps
A surfacing serpent
Along the street curbs

Slithers to the drains
Snakes away through the pipes
Spills over the dams

Swims in the rivers
Toils to seas
Butterflies as rain

Tombstone wave
Ten thousand miles away
Taps the cedar of a clipper ship

Once a snowflake
In this winter land

Marking a grave
In a frozen drift
Outside my kitchen window....
