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.

a delightful read, Paige. I especially liked the first line...'rote shivery wind is winter's maid.' Removing the gloves at the end was so effective. Loved this! Have a great day, Sara
