Frozen In The Current

with these first few words the ice upon the river shatters

the great grey stone is heaved from path into briar brush

shimmering mermaid tails break through the ocean’s surface glistening rainbow shine as seagulls dive towards the sun

i walk the sands by the sea i clear the vines in the brush i plunge into this freezing river naked alone my breath quick my body tense my skin exposed

and yet finally relieved

stepping back onto the bank shivering enlightened calm

the writers block abandoned frozen in the current drifting out of sight

while i slowly begin to dry off
