So Cold it Hurts
by Robert Tyler Phillips
How bright and sunny the day and yet so cold.
​
How warm the fire but still so cold.
​
The heater is running the fire is burning.
​
The house house has power but the air is so cold.
​
The geese all out flying, droppings strewn about
​
all on the ground as hard as stone it is so cold.
​
In the shower with all the steaming water
​
running low now clean I get out it is so cold.
​
Must embrace the weather in order to move on
​
because you heart is still so cold.
