ICE MIRROR
ice mirror
cold and crisp and
clear
with frozen bony
fingers
reflecting colder
skies
still and grey and
wintry
with no color of
its own
masquerading as
life
jealous and
brittle and still
trapping leaves
beneath the surface
the former symbols
of Sun
held in a frozen
embrace
in a seemingly
timeless Winter
until Spring
shatters the spell
