7:26p.m.

the leaves crunch
like the muted sound
of a child munching
on Sonic ice

the latch to my gate
frozen solid
i push up – contact made
the cold metal
stings my hand
it gives way - freedom

this arctic wind
blows deep into my soul

and i shiver

Your poem makes me feel the cold - I hate the cold, but I like your poem :)
