Flooding Snowfall

I won’t notice
the single,
floating
flakes.

the returning pioneers that quietly
seep
into
my blood.

a concealed rush
within my body.

I find sight to eye the
speeding, transformed rain.
I feel the chills
of its course.
the shutters
in
my
veins.

I clench
my teary gaze.
the frost
feels
its weathered hands toward my ventricles.
The empty,
thawed
chamber
once dwelled.

I break open my stare
to white
blindness
and fleeting, cold restraint.
my innocence freezes slowly,
then quick
and hard.

My heart cracks in your touch.

I harbor
every
drop.

Clench
when its ice.

As it warms,
let it leak
from my
loins.

Melt into a storm to
flood me again.
