Ice Creeps

Ice creeps
thru the cracks
into the recesses.
Warmth is leached,
crystal vampyres seek sustenance.

Ice creeps
thru the capillaries
into the neurones.
Intelligence in numbed,
deadened stupidity loves company.

Ice creeps
thru the ranks
into the production.
Value is expelled,
only the stupid remain.
