I Am So Cold

I Am So Cold

A Poem by Ben Taylor

I am a vessel of glass,
Condensation softly freezing on my facets and corners.
The wind titters gently as it rubs past my razor thin edges.
I call feel the frigidity soaking through my crystalline layers,
Mingling with the warm air at my center.
As it cools, it contracts.
My flat surfaces begin to exhibit concavity
As I am pulled in towards myself.
Fingers of frost and ice tangle themselves in my glass-shard hair.
My center is a frost-bitten vacuum.
I reach out to touch you, but when my hand, brittle and cold,
Touches your hand, the warmth shatters it.
I stare uncomprehendingly at my glittering stump
As my body compresses, the cold fracturing me.
I am in pieces.
I am so cold.
