Glacial Ice

Janet Kuypers
Haiku / extreme Sestina variation
on Instagram and twitter, 2/21/19

rumbling ice mountain
shakes your Antarctic campsite,
foretells avalanche

foretold avalanche
careened glaciers recklessly,
to float in ocean

ocean icebergs float
in Antarctic sun, stay mostly
just under water

underwater remnants —
no dirt nor even air, makes
crystal-clear ice float

clear floating ice chills,
cracks in perfect drink, after
rumbling ice mountain
