FROZEN

my hands are frozen stiff
and yet
all this sitting
in the cold snow
in vain

nothing here
so
   beneath zero
able to cool the hot
zeal of the words themselves

lust for life no
matter how empty
how inconsequential
this life
       might well prove to be

my demons
marching across the page
demanding their right
to speak
   for themselves, go
the whole way

a wildfire about to happen
whilst I must, logically speaking,
submit to
        their will, to the right
of language to dictate
what it has to,
desires to, needs to

comply with the smart, counter
intuitive, freezing thinking,
with your
     frozen-solid conception 
of creation my dear

the thing the poem itself,
this poem itself
             has issues with

confounding your dreamt of structure
        bringing it all
into one
mesmerizing sequence of
gorgeouslly miraculous fractal moments
       dancing, despoiling, flaunting
seducing, infecting,
                  overpowering

such resonance
birthing in the brain patterns of
wonder
            the world
            has not yet
had the pleasure to
                       discover it owns, it has, as
     has been ruthlessly revealed

and
    still stuck
in the snow

once again, these fingers freezing
