Ice more than Frost – v6

ice more than frost
on the flat surfaces;
flat and slanted
against the wind
even the doorway

all covered, frozen,
encased in white, in ice
temperature still falling;
well below freezing
that dark, dark night

melting only by applying
the exhaust of the engine;
the car awakening slowly
from its dormancy, frozen,
from its mask of ice
