Exposure Flashcards
Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knive us…..
The poignant misery of dawn begins to grow
Dawn massing in the east her melancholy army
Flowing flakes that flock
Pale flakes with fingering stealth come feeling for our faces
and stare, snow-dazed
So we drowse, sun-dozed
For God’s invicible spring our love is made afraid
Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice
But nothing happens
