where snow lives

Thu, 06/22/2017 - 02:38 -- wkwc

in the winter of one’s cracking white bones

holding traces of a shivering soul

small crystals biting into the blue fingered ghost

that stays trapped in the chest of a shaking frame

 

there is a modern remedy for this ancient ache

 

rip the frozen life from within you with gloved hands

and toss it into the microwave, darling  

three, four minutes in the happy heat waves,

megawatts with yellow purpose  

and you will be good burning

grinning like a madman at the steaming surface

with snow living in your knees
