beauty in ice


I went looking for flowers
to go with the ice,
to thread the stems delicately 
through a weave of dendrites 
I imagined them shooting across
the chasm of supercooled water
yes, I studied such things 
a long time ago.
the ice, how much ice I have frozen
for my love, how many dendrites
have I seen, so many fractures and 
ice so crystal clear.
I went looking for flowers to 
celebrate ice.
