Icicle

                                            Sunwind quires up his lean body
                                            Of hard frosted water,
                                            Smoothing a glaze,
                                            Oiling his skin like a beachbather.
                                            He cluthces the sunburned roof
                                            With damp fingertips
                                            As perspiration tickles his feet
                                            And drips off of this pointed toes.

                                              Betsy Malkus
