A Winters Accident

You slipped on the ice

but didnt fall through

Cracking your head

transforming your blood to red from blue

While the children skated around

Fishes faces staring back in frozen despair

Knowing exactly how they felt

You almost envied their end

While your survival tilters in that nervous state of “it depends”.

Wobbling to your feet

Trudging towards the bank in dizzied motion

A cosmos of skaters duplicated

in their orbit of your ground bound being.

One could well be the comet of impending doom.

As every other daughter & mother by an inch manage to miss you

But what if one were to hit?

Maybe that would be it?

Its all too much

As your skull closes in on your brain

& your eyelids threaten to do the same

Ever the invisible one

somehow everyone has failed to notice

You gushing with blood which will later freeze to the floor

The children will stare with intrigue

& the mothers will guffaw.

“Dont touch it, stay away”

& that may well be the same sentiment that they were saying about you on this day

You attempt to scrammble with trembling knees

Sweat freezing to your face as iced beads

You make it to the bank

But too little too late

You are not safe…

As the scene starts to fade

& you pass out of your own conciousness as well as that of the skaters

Damning the Winter as an icey traitor

& no one noticed amongst the flurry of snow

The circumstance may have even frozen your ghost

The next day the children giggled at your Winter Mummy

Maybe this is what the Pharoes would have done if the desserts were not so sunny

In mocking generosity

A service to save your soul

they gave you a carrot for a nose

& 2 eyes made from 2 lumps of coal
