glacier
I like fire.
I watch fire,
it seduces me
as it rolls over stone
and soot-wood
If you wait long enough
I will tell you all my secrets.
They will calve off
crash into the ocean between us.
Truth, I will float tonight
salted for flavor
Poem: glacier

Ah, I like this one very much, Shannon. It reminds me of the Kenai fjord, watching glaciers calve, along with cute otters holding stones and killer whales breaching like popcorn. The color of glacial ice is the most beautiful blue.
