Frost

The entire poem was inspired by two songs:

A Sigur Ros song entitled "Glosoli."

and the lyrics from "Beautiful Life" by Artemis:
Nothing really dies,
Nothing's really lost forever--


Winter frost, do you love me?
Place your sheen in my mouth
I will become a fountain
to the ice storm
that lives inside you

I find hushed echoes,
glissading down the mountain
to this cave I am hidden inside
Folded simply into dust-shimmer-
powdered snow lover, come into me
to meet my skin and melt your crystals
on top of me.

Daydream music box ice lover, put your cold lips to mine--
let's warm them up and I'll put my soul in your ear,
my voice will cast a magic healing light to all
your icy shell.

We all need a place to rest-
A place to catch our breath, to find
the secrets within us-to use that key and
lure them all out.

Put the ice to my breast, kiss them,
suck them out, make them yield
So that I can live again.
