Freezing to Death in Maryland

Take my eyes And steal my angels And I will worthless be Take my tongue And all my fingers And slink off through the heath And the sky denies me snow To suffocate and die below And the sun gives not its heat To thaw the ice beneath my feet Bones am I All fissured; freezing Flesh all fallen free Ossified And crumbling, leaving Broken bits of me And the birds will want my eyes The very moment that I die And I will not begrudge them these I will have no need to see The wind bores into me Pries apart the bone All the marrow for to freeze My body for to own Take my eyes And steal my angels And I will worthless be Slow as ice The season's glacial And I am like to freeze
