My hands were cold,*
but not for long.
They wouldn’t be for long.
She turned a corner
and I followed,
but
could I control myself
long enough.
Oh God.
I could feel myself hardening
just watching her before me.
Watching her
my love,
the way she shook out her curls
letting the snow flakes
tumble in
clumps
falling sporadically...
some melting
while others settled
on her shoulders
and some
still falling from her grace to the ground.
The way she ran her hands over
her upper arms
to keep them warm maddened me!
I could see each goose bump
that grazed her palms
and each small shiver
that
happened
in
spasms
as she quickened her pace.
I will warm you.
I broke out in a smile.
The winds beat against my teeth
numbing them,
but they would be warm
*soon enough.
