From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...Love is her liquid nitrogen flower...dipped in subfreezing temperatures and exposed to the burning sun...it's fragmented in abstract qualities...and cryogenic in its deception...Love is her shattered essence...her dimensional status...her participatory tragedy.
