Frozen Love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgXtR-Z6G9s

Living on the Scandinavian streets have
humbled her.
No Christmas cards with
a 20 spot anymore.
No trust fund from
Mom and Dad.
All the money vanished like
the last spider of vodka,
like a dropped bottle of beer.
She could go to a
shelter by herself,
but she chooses
life on the
streets in the
brutal winter to be
with her Swedish boyfriend.
Love is lunacy--sometimes frozen.
Two dead friends last year on
a mad moonlit night.
Human icicles on
the Iowa City streets.

One time while drunk,
her and I stole
the neighbor's canoe.
We had her little
black dog with us.
I dubbed him,
Senator Ted Kennedy;
probably because we
were all drunks,
(not the dog) I don't think...
We wrestled the canoe into
the Iowa River, and
immediately proceeded to
tip it over.
The Canoe sank like
a bad bet by Hunter S. Thompson.
We could've easily drowned, but we
laughed our asses off,
choking and splashing,
except for Teddy, who swam
for Boston.

You talk about Frozen Love .. this is so cool, indeed it is chilling, colder than perma frost and I loved every word of it (please feel free and or able to substitute the word refreshing where I use the word chilling above) .. Regards to you and your pen .. Neville

[Poetic Beauty]

We do dangerous things for love and down right blind sometimes and when drunk all sorts of wild and unsafe adventures can arise.

Thank you for writing this tale. I do hope Teddy found his way to Boston safely

[Thomas W Case]

Such an element of danger to this poem. She gave up so much. It is chilling, the whole situation, but underneath it all I felt a spark of warmth. Reminded me of that film. Love in a cold climate.
