Uninterruptible Infinite Loop

Receiver malfunction, distorted thoughts

“I love you” she whispered

Receiver malfunction, obvious distress

“Come closer, hold my hand” again and again

Receiver malfunction, panic; abort

Panic aborted
Panic aborted
Panic aborted

Longing for Mist

permafrosted.
The crystals
spreading, joints
creaking, limbs
breaking, teeth
rattling. How do
one cry when
tears are frozen,
how do one melt
something so
cold
