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 frosted 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
