Iced Water
Water cradles ice,
expertly carries this other phase
of itself.
All the while,
water softens the cubes’ surfaces,
rewinding
ice, coaxing it
to release, to be integrated within
the liquid.
So elegantly water
has been designed, infused with
so much give.
Lovely, once again,
ReplyDelete..so much give. That last line is so loaded and powerful.

This is beautiful. And it made me wonder about its other phase, steam (or gas) and how it relates to water. A future poem?
ReplyDeleteThe scientist in me likes this a lot...this other phase of itself...you are making me think! xx
ReplyDeleteNever thought of water as giving before. Food for thought, this.
ReplyDeleteI love lines like these:
ReplyDelete"rewinding ice, coaxing it
to release..."
This poem is attractive to look at, and stimulating to read!
I interpret: "infused with so much give" to mean, the water yields as it cradles the ice.
