"Hello" I said, Touching her shoulders And her coldness stiffened Into her face. Her body drew away For she remembered The dirty deal I once gave her, And now she turned me into A snow-iced crystal inside her head. There I remain until this day A frozen image of a wrong door. Shall I melt forgotten in her grave Or shall I reappear ages from now When in another meeting I shall thaw out And again become Her red-hot lover?
Irwin R. Shaw - 1984
"Hello" I said,
Touching her shoulders
And her coldness stiffened
Into her face.
Her body drew away
For she remembered
The dirty deal I once gave her,
And now she turned me into
A snow-iced crystal inside her head.
There I remain until this day
A frozen image of a wrong door.
Shall I melt forgotten in her grave
Or shall I reappear ages from now
When in another meeting
I shall thaw out
And again become
Her red-hot lover?
