a lonely isle of ice
December 20, 2022
royal ice/sea beauty,
her waters flow still.
seagulls sing her songs,
clouds bring her silver.
sat upon this cold rockbed,
lost in a sea of mirrors,
a lonesome fisherman
waits for his prize.
shadows slither
beneath the ice,
blowing bubbles
to the surface.
her breath trapped
beneath cold hands,
her waters, still,
beauty intact.
weeping salty tears,
our fisherman shoreside;
i hope to see his smile.
