Blue fading into white
Sharp edges slicing bones
A million microscopic slivers
Aching to be filled

Sap saturated fingers
Laced with pine
Stabbing skin
Crisp and crackling

Crusty-rimmed red nose
Burning with
Syrupy icicle drips
Hung beneath a sniffle

Half-cast, poorly crafted smile
On lips once kissed—
An icy desert in eyes of
Blue fading into white
