Breaking News
incremental voices
lettering a landscape
in bitter fallen tongues
and white knuckle clutches
melting through fingers
in the corners of your pockets
ice crawl of my spine
and the raw claw of your lips
from a chilblain heart
sashaying a blizzard
of blind verse and blankets
metaphors of madness
in broken drifts and crisis
frost bite on the litmus
acid pause of anguish
whiteout's pierced remorse
under ice-pick ridges
where crevasses bleed
breathless in the icehouse
gangrenous and gasping
below your black ice eyes
