Waiting for the thaw to come Jan 23, 2025



The cold locks us in its embrace almost as soon as the snow ceases, the dead of winter with more than a few weeks before groundhog tells us if we get an early spring, those are the darkest days we must somehow endure, waiting out the winter, bundled up in our beds, rubbing against each other like boy scouts sticks with the vain hope we can offset the chill

 I prefer the hot days when we work up a sweat that way, feeling every inch, the soft embrace of bodies in motion, no desperate attempt, just pure pleasure of it.

 it is difficult to feel anything grand with numb fingers or toes, with that one part shrinking under the deep freeze and no way to thaw out, yet perhaps it is best way to get through it all, one deep inch at a time
