They were holding each others hands
like the wolves did
When the snow came on this January Day.

Where Frost met sun
and children yawned so loud,
the chills from the stores
glanced down upon their stony rose cheeks.

They were fighting the cold,
their fingers shaking underneath their hooks.

Their feet underneath the blankets,
and a mothers cry,
holding them like cubs,
one under each arm.

They were powerless to the nights strong wind,
with a fathers strong, bare hands,
rendered small as can be,
twisting his mouth so he could feel the air breath.

On this cold, January night,
the wolves stared into this families life.

This gives the shivers. You rendered the grip of cold well.

Love,
