Frozen
There’s ice in the mirror
In the freeze
I stand solemn in my coat
…there’s a pepper caught
in my throat
My days are in park
My voice
My mind
Pillaged by a lark
u huh
There are rivers in my shoes
Sand in my eyes
My sublime
is disguised
I’ve a shovel made of straw
long like Rapunzel’s hair
digging through silk
for the ladder
That’s melting
from despair
u huh
So I let down my hair
In the mirror
A thousand words
I spoke
Forsaking my cloak
…and the frozen sky broke
Into the mirror
I stand solemn
In resolve
