Cold Feet

by jarjarrhine

Your love rains down                                        from the shower head. Sharp needles of fire                                                                                   dousing cold feet.                                    It feels like daggers,                                                and wouldn't be so, if I hadn't lingered for so long, in my frigid hesitancy.

Notes

I've been reading "Coney Island of the Mind" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Part of the jazz-inspired Beat generation, his writings are incredibly experimental and diverse. Definitely check him out if you haven't.
