Reykjsvik's Heart

palpitating cardamom
 and then some
       ice
churning for stylish sanity
burning below freezing in this upside-down-turned-love-story-calamity.
   you are my woodpecker
            keeping a queen of hearts locked in a facade of pharaoh's tomb-
golden and bright
   spirals reaching for the sky
 like the tippy tops of the limbs of the blazing birch you chirp and hammer on
your shifting azure gaze causing my regularly resolved self to yammer upon
silly notions
meaningful motions
glassy oceans
and
fiery emotions
until I can reach above
   all the etched obelisks of the world

some natural,
some not,
some frigid

some the hottest of hot.

and the only question left on the summit of my tongue is
     do you care if we are deaf-
to the noise
to the clamor
to the drama
to the glamor

as long as we're together?
