Kaltfront

You leave, but the snow finds you.
               Cobbles reflect ice and steps.
               (The street is the back of a reptile).

You follow the snow,
               the windows make you a saint,
               you are in a church.

You are well wrapped in cloth,
               you stride with intent,
               your heart is an unformed pump.

You are a fireplace, cold and ashen.
