Winter-speckled wiry eyes
Skate the surface
Of your face.

Reflections are faded.

Fall fast into
Obscurity, vacuums,
Velvet black pupils.

Heavy, beleaguered
Brows crown your sharp-
Featured face, struggling
To shield a cutting stare.

Gaze wavers in the wind.

You breathe-a cloudy,
Frozen veil released.
Bone, flesh, lashes clasped
In a fragile ice embrace, catch
Sight of a fellow eye, ignite,
Try to thaw- but break.
