The rain splashed against

eyes closed relishing

the joy and warmth

of the first Summer shower

 

A blast of frigid air

wrapped my body

within its steely grasp

pulling me away

 

Upon a mound of frozen snow

on the first day of the solstice

sat an abhorrent polygon creature

cold wind swirling from it’s out-stretched arms

 

Bodies of my Brethren circled 

the monstrosity in a macabre 

dance of Antarctic death destruction

and despair
