Winter is Over

HomePoetryWinter is Over

A dying love

turns everything gelid

bodies frozen solid

pain entombed by fleshy permafrost

so cold limbs might snap off

tears could turn to icicles 

which frozen tear ducts can’t release 

hateful words leave lips

to turn to sleet in the cold air 

the body,the heart,the mind

cannot survive this absolute zero

 

a frozen death seems preferable 

to a life without 

the warmth of love

the warmth of another body

the friction of 

two bodies coming together

 

and then a loveless winter

gives way to a warm smiling spring

where the limbs fell off

new growth is forming

icicles sweat into tears

and the frozen words 

you spat at me form little

puddles around my feet 

 

I kick and splash in the puddles 

a child without a care

a woman 

free at last
