Analysis of Numb winter
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
No hat,
No scarf,
Yet I brave the cold.
A coat,
With no arms
Yet I brave it so bold.
Head numb,
Glasses steamed
Yet more rain to be told.
Legs ache,
Tablets in,
Can't yet dry in this mold.
Food heavy,
Home finally,
Lemon cake fill, salad on hold.
