state of the ice

yes. there's plenty of it.
everywhere i look, it exists.
i see it on the leaves
i see it on a kite
it's all around me.


i know there could be more.
i believe so.
of the few things that happen to be obvious
only a handful is real
is tangible
is inevitably correct
and the rest
well
preposterous.


blame me for being so cynical.
but don't deprive me of the right
to keep my integrity
to be whole
to be damaged
but still
alive and kicking
and breathing
and wandering
wondering
fighting for a cause
of incomprehensible lengths
of time immemorial
of life and death
and of my own.
