Frozen

FROZEN

The lake is a crystal disc
whose surface has been scratched
like an old Blue Ray.

Heavenly breath blows the snow
off the surface, dust
off a departed archive,

Like an Archaeologist who has
discarded the shovel,
discarded the chisel,

Blowing the ancient dirt off
the artifact that hasn't been
seen or felt for centuries.
