When water turns to ice,
It has its charms--
Especially embodied in
White skates,
A red scarf,
And a pair of outstretched arms.
Still,
I prefer water--
Because of the way it approaches, then retreats,
Unable to help itself;
I love the thing that can kill and possess, all in the same motion--
Not static
Not frozen
As when water turns to ice,
A memory of white skates
A red scarf
And the glittering winter in your eyes.

Those skates - fabulous! Almost time for use to sharpen our blades here in Ohio as well.

There's a lot in this image. It immediately reminded me of a Kate Bush song, for some reason, though the resemblance was superficial.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
