polar bears ride floes
on aquamarine surface
under faded denim sky;
neon sun glows coolly
over subarctic ocean’s
darkest cobalt depths.
(feel sharp inhale of chill
air from looming glacier)
cerulean calm of water
belies danger below…
an iceberg submerged
could sink big ship like
cold hearts steeled in
cyan crevasses of hate.
