White Ice
She found the concealed passions;
Speaking to her restless soul…
I was building a totem at the time;
The pagan fire brought indoors…
Winter solstice brought snowfall;
My hearth is sandalwood redbrick
with a 7’ mahogany shelf mantle…
Curves with inlay sculpt like a woman.
Masonry set within charcoal grey,
stretching entrance across the wall,
like thighs spread for hungered lovers…
My totem of wood I kindled with emotion;
I used my heart to build my fireside flames-
Scrap papers from my poetic manuscripts;
Never waste the elements offered…
I gave back to my impassioned muse;
And the fire grew hot… dancing scarlet’s;
Crimson’s orange blaze…within sapphire hues…
Yellow’s gold licking white ice…
…My fire burns
