Snow / My Castle

draft poem from April this year



 In my castle nothing bad can happen.

      In my castle nothing moves.


                     A dull blade points 

          to the place            in the courtyard

                        where they’re filling you with snow.  

          

                You’re on your knees,

                               stiff and pale    as 

                                        the moon itself,

        with a smile   just as dumb. 

      

                   Nothing hurts.

 

This is how things are here:

                                    I give you up. I 

                                          give     you up.     I watch you fall:

                               a whitetail kissed between the eyes 

                               a    cool white  star

                               a  lone bramble of  young holly lodged  there   in the snow.

                              

                                           It doesn’t hurt me.

                                           It doesn’t hurt.


  But they’ve found a way 

           to thaw     the  ice.

                     And we      both     know 

                                          it isn’t pretty.
