Lakes Freeze In The Winter Poem by Sarah Cotnam

developing fantasies in my head

of us in different bodies

the eyes flash origins

but the rest tells our stories

my hands show the hard work

the mechanics of my offerings

and my knees show the bruises

of all my longings

take turns in bodies

playful and forgetful

take me to the water

and bury my deeper

bury me faster

hide my body



my eyes flash my origins

my innocence and wanting's

I wont last under water

for much longer



so take me in December
