pickling persian cucumbers,
best to let it chill

frost clings to the first
frost clings to the first
of the new year the way we
cling to each other

here is a reminder
here is a reminder
in the middle of
a wintry afternoon
that i do not deserve
you – my legs
wrapped up so
carefully in
your legs, and for
a small, exposed
piece of me that still
strays with the
inescapable
draft in the room,
a warm hand lands,
perches, massages
periodically into
that tickle threshold,
in case i were not
already completely
yours, present

watch us engineer
a week later, snow
a week later, snow
remains, piled up at the foot
of your heart, checkmate

the cold has settled
the cold has settled
in the way cold
knows how, even
you and i
cannot stop it

even the midday sun
even the midday sun
plays harmony
to what lies
in the gutter, after
a particularly harsh
morning,
when you and i
could no longer
look at each
other, nor shrug
off the sudden chill

there is a chill that comes
there is a chill that comes
quite suddenly – like
waking up to remember,
then waking up to
remember and waking
up to remember
