Frigid
Step outside, breathe in shallow,
for deep breaths are frozen
into short, sharp inhalations
as the icy coldness seeps
through your clothes,
kisses your skin,
cuddles in closer
til it's clutching your bones,
shakes like a leaf
to make your bones shudder
and your whole body tremble,
flexing your muscles loosens the grip
until you can get back inside
and give it the slip.
