Deep Freeze

Once heart-shot by Eros
The hot space invader

Now-marooned on a desert freeze land
In cider ice and whisky mist
All bitterness preserved
For a lifetime at least
Hurt and Hate's freshness ensured
In deep freeze.

Keep the soul at a constant low
Temperatures minus love
Evenings arctic cold
Just mesmerized me
Frozen fast to T.V.
In deep freeze.

(February 1983)
