slopes sharp and smooth
and melded into glass
formations.

The formations,
cold, lifeless,
glass, so pretty

daring you to touch
you need
to touch

but its so sharp and
when you do the water
cuts at you and the ice

gets under your skin you
scrape at it and scream
“get out get out”

but it’s
like a disease spreading
up through your

hand turning your
skin cold and the sun shivers
in your presence now

you went against instinct and
you touched the beauty

and now
you’re beautiful.
and now
I can’t ever touch you
