SNOWMAN AGONISTES


Someone stole his eyes.
Someone plucked them from his face,
threw them in a fireplace.
But the Snowman is okay:
he knows what darkness is,
he was born in the dark,
he is cousin to the ice cube
and the arctic circle.
He has studied the geometries of isolation.

Somewhere, two grey coals are smoldering.
