Frostbite
I do not stomp
nor lightly tread
just walk
out onto thin ice
there, you stand
waiting
soft cracks spread
beneath your sturdy stool
but I kick it away
to leave you hanging
my chilling indifference
reflected in the ice
playing
quick to drop you
on a yo-yo string
wearing your coat
all year in my winter
while you belonged
under the sun
on solid ground
I'll stay cold
lying beside you
you will linger
without covers
wearing thin
freezing next to me
until you slip
into a frozen sheet
then I'll rise to walk
on what you've become
the thin ice
cracking
beneath my careless steps
