Ice chips plucked whole from the smokeA
-
the past week s stars all frozen in flightB
-
Head over heels the skater s club goesC
-
clinking its rink with the peal of nightB
-
-
Step slow slower slow er skaterD
-
pride carving its trace as you race byE
-
each turn s a constellation cut thereF
-
scratched by a skate in Norway s skyE
-
-
The air is fettered in frozen ironG
-
Oh skaters There it s all the sameH
-
that like snake s eyes set in ivoryI
-
night s on earth a domino gameH
-
-
that moon a numb hound s tongueJ
-
is there frozen tight that mouths likeK
-
the forgers of coins are stungJ
-
filled with lava of breathtaking iceL
