a cold snap

freezing the cortex

synapse stuck

can’t fire up
can’t fire up
………………….can’t

shutting down thought
closing communication
causing a delay in reaction

syntax on the fritz

stability stricken

crash
……….and burn
whiplash
………..occurs

brace yourself
for a polar blast

try to remember
that

it is the best
of times
of years
of days
of hours

no worst
for the wearing
of your heart
proudly
on your chest
bursting with joy
a waterfall
of love

winter’s breath
left
a taste upon the air

clean
crisp
with wisps of white
feely floating

a chill

not so cold
to make one shiver

knowing that warmth
be fireside

a bite

not so bruising
to make one quiver
