Freedom From Winter Breeze

my skin
       requests for warmth
             to resist cold,
freedom from winter breeze,
  sweeping many into grave
             before time.

                my heart
       pounds for my love
         as charcoal burns,
    keeping us close as one,
hands seek contours of her back
              to be sure.
