Get Published on Female First

A dog-eared, yellowing page;

the blind spot at the corner of your eye;

the itch at the base of your spine,

There, not there, somewhere there.

 

I am but the past,

a frozen moment in space,

a snowflake with icy thorns,

poking you, nudging you,

kissing your ugly feet,

asking you to crush me

under your heel.

Unfreeze me,

utter an incantation

and turn me into a

watery present.
