Ice Speaks

ICE SPEAKS


Ice, compressed time frozen,
moves slow-motion
towards coastal perimeter.

Exposed, seaward edge gives way,
releasing a triumphal, roaring yawn -
like thunder.

Crashing into the ocean,
it takes down with it
vacuumed air and
vortexed waters.

Iluliaq Spirit is bouyant,
the berg's body light; Resurfacing,
freed air whistles.


Roaring, sucking and whistling:
Every day, icebergs broadcast news
of surviving Time's jail-break.

Well done again Kate, once more you bring me back into my memories of the aqua blue, navy blue and blinding white of the bergs. They are truly majestic and after calfing take on almost a life like quality of their own.
