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

       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

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
