A Death of Cold
by Dave FitzgeraldBleak, miserable hillside.
Icy, skin-stripping, horizontal rain
causing pain to every joint and extremity
in this, this most extreme inclemency.
Darkness fades to blackness,
cold fades to comforting warmth,
and the pain subsides.
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5!)
Once I caught a fish alive?
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5!)
OK, youve just done that bit!
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5!)
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
?
Shit!
Bleak, miserable hillside.
Im not coming here again.
