Antarctica



Ice blue grave   

in crystal lands with 

Gothic edges 

and one hundred spikes.



You can almost hear the glacier moving 

ill-fated fame

across the ancient ledge 

narrowly hanging.



The tunnel has collapsed

on childlike enthusiasm,

trapped inside the silence 

of water and memory.



Ice blue cave, 

the uncontaminated ghost of Captain Robert Scott 

and his frozen remains.

You can almost feel his cold breath.
