ICE SLICE

In order to glide and slide smoothly
on a frozen lake
Your surface has to be hard
resistant and preferably of the same material
Otherwise you are like a floating twig
caught midstream by a biting frost
You are like the cracks in the ice
That onlookers see as natures patterns
You are a source of aesthetics
only admirable in terms of the ices' existence
Why not help to thaw the lake?
become a constant ripple,
a source of delight which doesn't linger
and only depends on one initial action...
The stone being thrown.
It has already been thrown - the choice is yours.
