Literature Text

talking
what is it good for
when you say 
absolutely nothing
so beautifully

in december.
the sound of your voice 
on my lips is a 
frozen kiss in the
winter sun,
smooth icicle
tongues melting
together as one

cold river.
do not lie to me;
lie with me
in the arctic tundra.
our possibilities are
thin tendrils
snapping underneath

our remembered heat.
find me a constellation
in this crisp night sky
and keep it in your eyes,
let it twinkle to life
when you think of me

coming into
the snow-laden
forest clearing
to find your warmth
with my frostbitten
fingertips.
partly inspired by Owen Pallett's The Great Elsewhere 

more of the same.
