Icicle

The shadow of a tree 
bears endless phrases

Her empty womb has been poisoned,
her breast pointing south
is weakening like an autumn leaf

The braided hair begs
to be untangled like a
long handwriting that cannot be
deciphered

Fat-filled belly in procrastination,
stubborn as the prairie's frost.

When the springtime ice thaws,
an icicle pierces her brain.
