Slip Through Palms

The rote shivery wind is Winter's maid—
she breaks heart to own the season's floor;
via frost's degrees in my throat,
while my glean lancet's chills burn.
I tape her over my
skin; my fingers in
our stitches show—
her peel true.
Gloves are
off.

Many people can't even see intelligence, "while my glean lancet's chills burn." Much less read it! Brilliant A.S.
