…clinks in glasses
chilling the lips
unless a sudden contact
is avoided.
…is frigidity –
a grain of water
gleaned by the sun
is preferable.
…lingers slowly
dissipating.
Give me streams
as quick as bullets.
…chills a
red Dubonnet
till the wine
upends the sun’s intensity.
…sways
every eye
towards the skater’s
own uncalculated mastery.
…partners
the gritty frost
that folds the pebbles
in a skein of light.
Ice is the groin’s negation.
Ice is the temperance of nations.
