The Freeze

there is a face visible
through the ice although
one may never reach it
as there is no thaw in prospect

it goes without saying
everything gives rise to words
although how does one gain entry
when the data is encrypted

one needs passwords then
access codes okay so far
so good somewhere a phone is ringing
(visible through the ice again)

when it stops as it surely must
we will be left once more
reliant on our initiative alone
read what it says
