Winter has pried its way into the depths Sinking chilled claws into subcutaneous layers, Penetrating spaces harboring vital warmth Diminishing lively promises Objects surrounding me are chilled Inflexible, they seem Bothered by any attempt of motion Complaining with creeks and cracks All in agreement Descend further, Permanently frozen fixtures Something needs to be done Slide open a frosty drawer, Revealing an empowered wand Electric arc lighter Magically USB C charged Two discs, behind a cast iron cage Lie in wait, ready to emanate sun like fury Arc sparks gas rolling through a slithering line Blue flames erupt, heat tumbles upwards Above, hands rub and roll first Then a kiss to the face Put a fan on high to circulate Opposing forces engaged Zero degree weather, living inside a van Elements reign, they remind Whose who & what's what Trying to survive

Winter Depths
Winter has pried its way into the depths Sinking chilled claws into subcutaneous layers, Penetrating spaces harboring vital warmth Diminishing lively promises Objects surrounding me are chilled Inflexible, they seem Bothered by any attempt of motion Complaining with creeks and cracks All in agreement Descend further, Permanently frozen fixtures Something needs to be done Slide open a frosty drawer, Revealing an empowered wand Electric arc lighter Magically USB C charged Two discs, behind a cast iron cage Lie in wait, ready to emanate sun like fury Arc sparks gas rolling through a slithering line Blue flames erupt, heat tumbles upwards Above, hands rub and roll first Then a kiss to the face Put a fan on high to circulate Opposing forces engaged Zero degree weather, living inside a van Elements reign, they remind Whose who & what's what Trying to survive
Buried under blankets this morning. Warmth from a laptop that is often bothersome, is now welcomed. Off the cuff writing. One pass. Untrained, hoping to learn and craft pieces with more skill and continued refinement.
