The Rain of the Ice by Eric Baus   The horse's pain never imagines a house beyond the storm. Its mirrored breath forms a force that dies without noise. The ice in a sickened room is not salt. Its perfume pours a rain that deletes the tacit skin. Copyright © 2013 by Eric Baus. Used with permission of the author.
