Gradually Grudgingly Giving In

Gradually Grudgingly Giving In
David J Walker

The cold holds no such 
Color so bold as winters bite
remembering so many a
Summer night
The warm leaving
Sweat so wet on 
The back of your neck
in the faded moonlight
that looked for all the same
In December 
until you factor in
the distant solstice sun and the 
Longer nights

The cold will hold on 
As long as it can 
Gradually 
	Grudgingly 
Giving in
