Ice

the east is enveloped in blue dark

the plane that carries you

diving into the abyss 

while the west appears to be engulfed in flames

a simple view from the deck

of a slow moving boat 

Feet in thick socks 

Shuffle through the halls 

And across the kitchen floor 

Hands reach into cupboards 

Rearranging and putting away

Mugs 

And plates

it was barely audible

yet soft and sure

in the heat of the moment. 

what?

I ask

even though I know what you said. 

I know the weight 

and the feeling
