Day 11 of #NaPoWriMo: It Scared The Water

it scared the water. down to blood

its body heavy; frozen pond

the trees are trembling in the wind.

.

it hurt the water. silver fish

that glide soundlessly just beneath

they kept on moving, racing through

.

and all above was frozen still

and frantic movement down below

.

survival hinges on the warmth

.

it froze the water down to blood

.

can’t stop until the thaw.
