You were My Narnia (Death Rattle of the Frozen Heart)

frost-locked lips
kept a January promise

my lion-hearted assassin.

in one hand, you offered Turkish Delight,
Lokum filled with pistachio folly.

in the other—
a heart-shaped cookie cutter

that you pressed into my breast
until I bled and wept

until all that was left
leapt and shuddered.
