"In the deepest freeze"

There's an empire of icicles
hanging outside our bedroom window
They stretch & ripple themselves
dreaming of an earthbound ending
As if they are roots of the sky
trying desperately to ground itself
And this house is just the mediator
between earth & the heavens

I watch them melt slow and steady
Wanting to watch them break their limbs
And welcome spring once more.
