untitled

headache

feet ache

beats too loud

nauseate

sun sets by 6pm

darkness sets in

coldest place i’ve ever been

warmest jumpers are wearing thin

close the door

feel a draught

rising steam

in between

blankets

doubled up

made from wool

but never enough

boiling water

mimics body heat

thawing out numbed feet

ruptured

rubber as i sleep

scolding my skin

an angry welt

the warmest i’ve ever felt

water pools at my back

wasted hugs

the irony

it never seems

to hug me back
