And The World Still Spins

today I sat flawlessly
upon the wings of the wind
and rode straight backed
to the end of pretend
so sad to see your day
go slowly undone
when you realize you stand in
the presence of frozen sun
only my warmth uncurls
fingers to have palms in reach
my tongue tastes silver snowflakes
iced to silence my speech
icicles attach themselves
to liquid dreams
and the frost of your
crystal cover gleams
do you see me here as I feel
the ache to bone
I can not touch you
nothing can melt a winter’s stone
and despite all the seasons
that might have been
today I wear skin
chilled of a bitter wind

“but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish
and I'm sad”…Joni Mitchell
