Imagery for a Frozen Heart

The grass cradles sparkling masses of crystalline dew in its narrow folds. Trapped in time: Tiny ice planets frozen in obl iv      i      o n.

Drifting through the cold, muscles surrender to a higher power and the black vortex in the center of my eye contracts. It sucks in the blue speckles and spits them back out. My vision goes numb and I am suddenly

 blind to the world.

A second in time   d    r    u    g   out like a cigarette- overlapping the rest like a greedy machine until they collapse onto each other and the earth stops spinning and sinks into the gut of outer space.
