Lost love

inhale
like a crisp autumn chill on the back of your throat
the sharp stab

the exhale like a wood stove
a cabin
a stoked fire
socks laid out to ward off insufficient boots
little cairns

my eyes are snow and ice
my warmth is blankets
fires and hugs
not the sun

summer means clouds of black bugs and sticky sweat
big hats and bright red skin
on snow white beluga whales

winter means magic
adventure and hope

Who did I think I was?
