cracks in
the surface
spiderweb crisscross
across the frozen eyelid
of the lake
cracks in
the surface
split dendritically
across the ragged planes
of my arctic fingers
capped with
weather-worn callouses
swimming through
my thick hair frosted
with sun drop water crystals
and dry winter dandruff
snowflake scalp fluff
finger fly skin flurries
and I'm a coldfront
I'm a thunderhead
icicle snowdrift
I'm a rolling cloud
ice gale moonmist
trekkin through the
frosted forest with
fairy dusted
smiles and
snow filled
mittens
I'm a
fickleberry
tick tack
pick pack
**** it like a
smoke stack and
poke it with a
thumbtack
through the front
and out the back
and swan dive
into the cork board
leave it for another day
move on forward but
don't forget to stop
and pray
tongue tied
in a knot today
like a cherry stem
tongue tried
quite a lot, I say
to carry them
ever-powerful silly
magic mouth sounds
I went for a walk today.
