Frozen

by Vikki Owens

No earthquake now,
no tremor even
or slow undulation,
but still....
I wish that there was
SOME movement,
besides this coldfrozen.

Siesmic measured flatline
patient..
waiting for her bedsheets to ripple,
broken fingers
broken hymen
broken shoreline

blatant
breath

and

nill.

Disturbing imagery that really brings a strong emotional attachment to this poem. Very well structured and worded.
