I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

The Fountain in Below Zero

 Chatham University

has a small little pond

just a short distance

from Lindsy's house.

The fountain is still

running even in below-zero temperatures.

The water around it,

all frozen solid, an ice-skating rink

if I knew how to skate,

everything is frozen except for a circle

surrounding the fountain as if being a symbolic

punch through the surface of the water

as an act of beautiful defiance.
