Romance of Cold
There are thirteen steps
between you and I
each one creeks
in my blood
engraves my mind
you stagger and climb
the small stairway
toward a bed
that grew so cold
sheet swelling in sweat
from wrestles of words
letters drown in river abuse
egos of fatigue old souls
satin blanket of lavish
gave comfort of none
chatters in restless slumber
ticker forcing faint beats
I crawl out of this wretched bed,
thirteen steps between you and I
every step squinting more blood
my limestone plateaux eastwards
