Winter

'Tis Loki you hear
vexing the shutters and doors
Winter has come for our bones!

I've made thee a fire
Lie here with me before it,
under the watch of the flames

I love how striking and vivid your prose is, Lycia, 'vexing the shutters and doors' and 'under the watch of the flames' so visceral!

Thank you, Michelle. This 'Sedoka' format is a little bit odd but it does lend a certain impact to a piece
