Description
dusty sunlight filteredthrough glacial slats,
mineral impurities drip, drip, dropping
on your marbled skin
frozen floorboards creak
and crack
the ice
is rotting;
your casket weeps
chilled fingers grasping weakly
as the current claims you
swept
beneath
the lakeside, laketop carpet
you, too,
decay
prismatic refractions on
fractured bones,
ice fractals,
underwater icicles
is your coffin glass
or arctic gold?

I can't help thinking of glaciers and feeling a little despair.
