Missing it in winter Jan 12, 2015

  

I miss it most in Winter, feeling it, although in truth I only knew you in spring, the lonely night, brittle as ice, nothing to cling to accept my imagination, when I cling to you, the early dark this time of year makes it worse, the need to feel you close up, to keep warm, not just against the threat of polar vortex, to not face the dark alone, I miss most in Winter what I never had with you except in dreams, when I ponder how warm we could get if given the chance, how we might defy the deep freeze, the isolation of this thing we lived through, a companion to rub against-- against the worst ravages of the season, to once again spring up in you again in spring
