STEPHANIE TINIUM ADARA BONNELL poetry by brad kastendick THE FIRE Shimmering indigo encircles us; our souls glide together. Gentle crystals line your lips as your breath dances in the frigid air— rapid yet rhythmic. Your pale, pacific blue skin is a smooth arctic lake. Your gaze, muted light through frozen walls, so cool, so comforting, lightly waggling its tingling fingers in my soul. As labored as a glaciers drift, my mouth yearns to speak, despite the blissful numbness, and words melt the distance between us. "My winter love" echoes off the chilled, sap-phire walls. Your glide halts and your eyes narrow. Your icy silence scorches my heart. CHRISTINA JACOBSON submit your artwork, poetry, fiction or non-fiction to the concordian at fpo: . . . . . .
