Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

To an Icicle


Chilled into a serenity
As rigid as your pose
You linger trustingly,
But a gutter waits for you.
Your elegance does not secure
You flavors with the sun.
He is not one to pity fragileness.
He thinks all cheeks should burn
And feel how tears can run.

Written by Helene Johnson (1906-1995)
