What's there is this
map

You can read it this way up
_____________________________________or this side way

A map can be read in many ways
When it means to say one thing

Press your ear against March--
It's trying to tell you something [one thing]

about December to May
about solids to liquids
about the life of melting point.

Come and look at my veins,
translucent in the mockery of ice
Flush
in the lifeblood of my churning waves.
