Looking for Snow White - a poem by Chris Zachariou

Snow White with an apple, a symbol of awakening sexuality, Part of the series “A Coming-of-Age Poem.”
The Awakening of Snow White
Reflections of my lover
dancing on the frozen lake
echoed every night on the
walls of the grey scullery.

The Ice Queen watched
each pirouette and veil cast
until enraged by the neon sunshine
stood and speared the screen twice.
