“The heater limps and languishes”
Jillian Slamka
ENG 229

The heater limps and languishes

Groaning against the wind
As one by one
Each unbearable atom

Collapses
From
Within

The heater limps and languishes

Repeatedly
Clicking and clacking…
Clicking and clacking

In a frenzied
State
Of disconnect

The heater limps and languishes

But despite
The frigid
Chill

The heater
Gasps…
And lives

Hope that heater hangs on. This is not the winter to do without a heater.
