The ice house preserves

with incestuous flowers

their nightly perfume overpowers me

the stamens kiss

entwined devouring

the heart will melt whilst the ice remains



erogenous touch -- of brother and sister

the ice retains life -- no offspring to bear

phallic flower etched into my memory

a feline form on a frosty pane



not ashes to ashes

not dust to dust

a beckoning bouquet

of blossoming lust



oh will you stay -- until this moment's complete?

oh let me freeze you -- with this fragrance so sweet

we shall not slither and wither away

the door will lock shut -- when the ice names the day
