Little ice cube you
you come and go
as winter and summer do
you get bigger as you go
and disappear as you get close
this time that you've been here
you've left your mark on me
leaving me wanting a fridge
to keep you alive and close to me
but just as i thought
you grew so big
that i could not keep you in a bottle
or in a photograph as a memory
instead you are a whole season: my winter
as people get cold
and lack warmth
you're that ice cube that keeps me safe
