The Ice Hotel
We checked in to the ice hotel,
Our luggage filled with coats
And when you spoke, your hot
Breath misted in the air and
Collected on the glass like a
Flower that had found
Its way through layers of the
Permafrost - thick veined
And bloody as a bruise.
And as we made our way up
Stairs the walls about us
Seemed to stir and crack with
Every single step,
As if we walked on the surface
Of a frozen lake,
Shifting from one foot to the
Other - oblivious to
Its cold and icy depths.
