Ice

The icicle
became
a snowflake,
just as it

with that

melted

and left
nothing
in her heart
but a puddle
of confusion.

— Jay Cantor, "Krazy Kat"

your cornied it up.

The whole point of grief
itself was to cut it out
while it was still honest,
while it still meant something.

— Richard Yates, "Revolutionary Road"
