This poem and theme remind me of a couple of the recent James Bond movies (Skyfall and No Time to Die), which have scenes involving frozen lakes/ponds situated around places where some of the main characters have baggage to work through. It's interesting to trace how the Bible looks at water (often a dangerous, chaotic image) and see how that shows up elsewhere in pop culture.

Interesting insight, Ben. I'm sure you caught this, but the images of water and chaos all start in Genesis. https://stillpoint.substack.com/p/the-primeval-seagod-rules-the-chaotic
