The Snowman Writes of the Fireman and His Frigid Lover
THE SNOWMAN WRITES OF THE FIREMAN AND HIS FRIGID LOVER
He burns himself
he is a small sun
he needs no body
but his own.
The frigid lover shivers and shivers.
She needs somebody warm,
like the Fireman.
The Fireman remembers a time
before the fire, when he
was a snowman, when he
would shiver and shiver
and want a hot lover.
The Fireman looks up,
and the stars he sees are yellow.
