Five Icicles on a Cornice

March 4, 1980

Icicles present crystal horns of a dilemma only solstice solves. Silver prongs grasp at limits to which liquid goes. Transparent steeples spire downward -- what's so perverse as self love? Glass sword rattles in blue scabbard -- winter files its cutting edge. Unicorn, melt with spring's soft virgin- advancing.
