Fire

A Cold Poem

They came

They crawled

Open chests beat hard

Like clouds they

Could never be caught

Tied the rope taught

Fired the gun

Shoes hit the ground

Breath turned to ice

Shoulders pushed back

Whispers of winter

Against the body

Fast paced souls

Shivers so sharp

Pulled them apart

Open and glazed

They were the slow ones

Broken hearts blue skin

Dark skies dark souls

And naked like the moon

Pale and young

Young virgins in the night

Glossed over and unseeing

Frozen over and forgotten

They were the slow ones
