Evaporate
There is a shell
that is melting away.
Bone and ice
that once was solid.
Illusionary,
it’s the word of the day.
How intellectual can I get
to hide my true feelings?
In the cold ice is rock solid
but in warm climates it melts away
until you are left wet and confused,
or worse it evaporates
revealing nothing of substance
where once there was something solid and beautiful.
Kept at arms length
in a busy world.
I am cold and confused
with nothing of substance
to hold to my name.
