Supersymmetry Breaking

Individual divisions
separate the singular
partitions in the river ice
with fissures running from one side
to somewhere on the other side,
for some unearthly reason known
to only water, winter, and
the wind, the long northwestern wind,
that continental absolutist
monarchy of global movement
spinning still from some forgotten
ricochet of bang, big bang,
the nicest round that ever rang,
a bang that breaks sound ice in two.
