from wiki article "Frost Flower (Sea Ice)"

Frost flowers are ice crystals commonly found growing on young sea ice and thin lake ice in cold, calm conditions.

Then the flutings of their Ionian
Death-gowns.
Then two little feet.
He does not smile or smoke.

The other does that
His hair long and plausive
Bastard
Masturbating a glitter
He wants to be loved.

I do not stir.
The frost makes a flower,
The dew makes a star,
The dead bell,
The dead bell.

Somebody's done for.

NOT the entire poem, Death&Co by Plath, but the frost makes a flower reminded me of this part of the poem.
