Listen! The ice has not yet thawed.

Yes, Birds are chirping and the expanse between dawn and dusk has
Increased
your hankering

Yes, children flaunt

but the new generation’s
demeanor serves only to
haunt.

The ice has not yet thawed!

and yet there are rivers flowing towards the east.
But oh so few!

Springs ago the dancing white elephants

crushed the ice
under the inspiration of their ringleader.

But we are only barefoot

having cast our soles
under the scrutiny of the
naked eye.

The ice has not yet thawed.
