Dry eyes
Solid carbon dioxide "sublimes at -78.5°C at Earth atmospheric pressures.
This extreme cold makes the solid dangerous to handle without protection
due to burns caused by freezing." - Wikipedia
To casually air
from a solid state
to nothing and never
tearing, even with
the burn of breath
icy from each
exhalation.
The breaking in
two parts pity,
though being not you
truly, but him
alas, leaving -
no long nights
to cry over
no bleeding heart behind,
but fog
of wars, flesh frozen,
when love sublimes.
