turning to face the world

"In writing with detail, you are turning to face the world." --Natalie Goldberg

wondering

if I pour scotch
on the windshield
will I will the will
to thaw?

The shattering sound
is scraping
is really
shuddering,
since it's softer
than such absolutes.

I will the thaw to
start today.
I thaw the will,
scotch
the tin heart.
