a calendar
circe
borne of its radiation
like a weed freshet grown
striving life from the harsh
striations
a douse of summer
freezing into snow

time
when summer softness
blew a heat sufertuge
of colour
on sculpted cheeks
thin with hunger
appellate desire
a consumption of wolves
blown like black
sirens
through forest
citidels

wear a coat of arms
and put ones heart
in a jar

when the flames
of purity reach
each candle
votive wish
rising
in its vortex

twin helix
gaurding the sun
gleaming like
a double
edged
denial

This one leads me to look up so many things from Goddesses to flash flood and offertory candles.
A write that hold so much and portrays these things is good indeed,
That water flowed and Goddesses were praised I just wonder at your Glaciation title, I would have expected the reverse..
