Blue Ice

“This poem recounts the story of uniting with an old friend, in the winter.  Even though we had years of separation, one bad marriage and plenty of heart-ache to talk about, instead we went ice-skating, late at night.  There was magic in the kinesthesia, gliding across the ice, even through there was some danger to skating in the darkness.  We were giddy with energy, and all the drama that happened in our separate lives just dissipated with our movement.”
