frēosan: verb. /ˈfreːo̯sɑn/, [ˈfreːo̯zɑn], to cover in ice

it's in your bones
grows like mold, planting roots
long fingers reaching
curling talons around your joints, your lungs

and squeezing

it's in your heart
waves crashing, bark cracking
leaking in through the smallest space
flooding in, making itself comfortable

and drowning

it's in your skin
tracing maps, fracturing porcelain
nails in a coffin
taking control, locking up

and devouring
