Slurry of slush

Slurry of slush

Spring meltdown

On the glacial front

Flurries of rivulets

Disgorge themselves

On the adjoining valley

Slurries of slush

Crazily flowing

Icy water

Carrying in suspension

Ice particles

In all shapes and sizes

Like cells in serum

Flowing in blood vessels

Except cold

Icily, freezing, cold

It also carries

Stone and rock particles

Coarse sediments

Of all shapes and sizes

Water too fast, too powerful

For them to settle down yet

The pervasive cold

Oppresses you from outside

Insinuates inside

And freezes you thoroughly

Both from the outside and within

Until you become frozen

First solid, then brittle

An icicle

In spring meltdown

Then the water

Flowing around you

And all the particles in suspension

Abrade you like sandpaper

Eat at you

Bit by bit

Until you disintegrate completely

Into your elemental particles

That are carried away by the stream

In a slurry of slush
