Walking on ice

Walking on ice


Walking on ice
Swimming in a hole
Ice berg woman
Don’t smile cause your heart will crack
Black butterfly disappearing in night
The silence of your passage
Echoes in the halls
Rebounding off the walls
You’re like kryptonite
A poison I can’t get enough of
The flutter of your wings
Like rain drying in the sunshine

The black on the ground
I slipping all around
Swimming under the ice
Looking up and seeing people looking down
Make eye contact they are not
Wondering why they are suffocating in the winter air
