Near golden sunsets

Its
creeping.

Its slow descent
from the frost
encrusted glass
takes it only inches
from a lifeless
plunge into
snow banks and concrete.

Slow motion enlargement
of miniscule proportions
decreasing with the flow
of temperature,
Dripping its death march
tears
one by mournful one.

A layered glass encasement
envelops heart struck
frigidity,
Masking spider web splinterings
within its core.

The sun climbs
the snow-shrouded horizon
Casting killing light,
destroying heat.
Its frigid hold loosens,
a shattering scream breaks
the frozen silence;
the icicle's perfection
breaks into a thousand
prismatic shards,
Catching the morning's sunlight
in a rainbow of emotions.

Ah!!! At first I thought it was just snow that was melting; I love this one Philip. A perfect description of an icicle thawing.

"Dripping its death march

What imagery! Melting icicles never seemed so tragic. The imagery fits well the inevitable approach of death and grief.
