electric gray skies
crackle with a collection
of potential potency
an immense weight in
projected precipitation
a manic fool fidgets
the promise of the tempest
raging winter’s fury
to ensconce the city in
an insanity of icy irrelevance

a permanency of insomnia
deliriums in hellbasted
frames of delicious despair
clouds of frozen breath
showcase cartoon hearts
etched in the hoarfrost
echoes two hours behind
of stilted forevers lost
in the last ice age to
carve furious furrows in
the delicate disasterpiece
love lapsed lamentations
