Runny Noses
Runny Noses
We pressed our lips
Against the frozen frosted glass
You on one side and me on the other
Pulling them away we could feel the warm blood
Seeping down through the creases in our tongues
You put your purple iced hand on my neck
I shook breaths out of my coughing lungs
A snow ball in my squinting eye
Red now, reflecting the yellow sun
We rolled down sides of reservoirs
Landing on concrete roads, dodging cars
We ran home
Toeless numb, wet gloves
The fire melted the day away
We bathed in lukewarm water
And went to sleep.
