Poetry - 2006

a reading for Katharine Vella By Lloyd Godman

4 degrees

Cold is not a feeling it is much more
the air has a smell a taste a sound
it bites at the bone chills the heart
tingles the ears with blue vibrations
like water it seeps in through any hole
dulls the body the mind
wets the last warmth of the heart
