KA Rees #7 - Ice Shelf


Ice Shelf

It is there,
      the beast stretching
             towards the horizon,
                 teeth exposed, claws bared
                    the buttered
                        whelping coastline,
                         the sun—an oil stain lying
                    across its surface, it sinks and
                 shrinks these glad-wrapped days
                     of petroleum fun.
                          If we could wrap this shelf
                               of ice and keep it coldly
                            generated, these useless thoughts
                         and meaningless images
                from the warmth of our
      electronic streams could
continue to hotly flow.
