The pang has been deep frosted
in my refrigerator,
the freezer is iced in pain
no room for even small items.

I know I can defrost it 
melt it and cry away
or it would be done
when the power fails,
but I won’t do it
it will melt then
and there would be a new frost again.

I love this frost
and I am inhospitable to a new visitor
I love the present ice
Let it atleast stay with me, since you’ve left.
