January's Child
Julie Claire Ma
Give me the cold
the dark
the still frozen nights
the bitter blue mornings
the 50 kinds of snow
but especially the
softly falling
in the woods
kind.
With cold fingers
clasped around a hot cup
cheeks rosy with
pleasure
or maybe just the wind -
it looks nice on you anyway
