Cold Feet

March nights, cold and bitter,

       Awaiting spring

         Just teasingly out of sight.


       Cold feet pressed up against

         The warm calves

        Of a muttering bedmate.


      "Are you keeping those

             In the freezer?"

        His almost nightly refrain.
