Frozen

The crackles and creaks    
flickers and freaks    
frozen moments calling out    
   
icebergs on a wire    
taking hold of me    
   
breathe I think    
but    
I'm afraid to exhale    
afraid to give    
where no one longer lives    
   
light kisses off the window    
leaving long lines of repent    
smeared glimmers gone and went    
   
writing passages in the past    
the winds howl about    
dawn to dusk    
clouding out the margins    
   
so left
within the absence  
~ here, I'm stuck
