11.10

and all is well.
eyes set in the next
minute
a mint of repeated
superstitions
wind-kicked
and whipped
no frenzy
to speak of
but the seconds
leaked
vanished
in a smoke ring
tinged in giggles
and secrets
crammed into
the vault
watching the ice
melt
safe inside
5 minutes
2 hours
there will be
no damage
tonight.
