The chilly air touches my skin Suddenly I am aware Of every exposed surface Of my body The chill penetrates deep Slowly my energies dwindle To a snail's pace Becoming frozen animation I fight the thought of hibernation I fight the thought of death and freezing I feel the need of a fire I tell myself to gather kindling I feel the need for blankets and flannel sheets I look into the high shelves of my closets I feel the need for comfort of warmer things I search for long sleeved shirts and sweaters My inner parts are seeking warmth I put a pot of chilli beans upon the stove Cornbread in the oven The kitchen becomes my winter cave My place to chase the chill Anyone want to join me? |
