One mouth

@Drowned in the Inkwell

You are one mouth

wide open in wonder,

one hydrogen for satellite eyes.

The ice stings as it falls

over a perfect world.

You are waiting for a sound,

as the lamp post flickers.

You are alone;

nostrils inhaling icicles.

All thoughts have left you

to the cold. You feel it

in your palms, watching you

leave footprints in the snow.
