THE WIND CHILL FACTOR

Cold’s wry overdrive

surprising bone by speaking

Bone   ossified

Latin of last things.

Kric Krac Kroc

whisper the oracular

French Rice Krispies, emptiness

disguised as food.

Ice cubes

clink in your glass.

Clouds crystallize and break,

regather on the ground and lock.

You can’t

hide in the flesh

forever. Glaciers write with rock

on rock.
