Panties <br />delicate as piece <br /> <br />of frozen light <br /> <br />a snowflake <br />creation come alive <br /> <br />all frills & froth <br /> <br />the merest whisper <br />of frosted gossamer <br /> <br />provocatively placed <br />balanced upon the beckoning finger <br /> <br />of a naked lady <br />(despite it being 20 below zero) . <br /> <br />This brazen bronze <br />braving this Finnish winter <br /> <br />the incongruity of this <br />naked statue <br /> <br />and a late night reveller's <br />drunkenly discarded lingerie <br /> <br />it now as stiff as <br />the statue <br /> <br />freezing our laughter <br />upon the air <br /> <br />as we chatter <br />in cartoon <br /> <br />speech bubbles <br />down the street <br /> <br />following the tracks <br />of feet that followed feet <br /> <br />kept warm <br />with love & vodka <br /> <br />and the love <br />of laughter.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/frozen-panties/
