naked,
underneath snow that falls,
like a dead waltzer,
like you and your shaking self.
naked ,
where snow melts around bones that break,
knees that shake.
and a voice that refuses to speak.
naked,
laid out to rest,
cede to the crackling frost;
frost like a galaxy,
the same galaxy, crafted and stitched into your ice-born skin,
into your glacier eyes.
naked,
starved,
a suicidal dreamer,
trying to touch the stars,
the begging, arctic moon -
trying to touch anything
but her anorexic, marbled form.
a poem about me, and maybe some other dreamer out there, aching for freedom, for something.
