The morning breeze
A beautiful blue sky

He brings the ritual cup,
A daily prayer against the cold.
She accepts his offering
Hands clasped in supplication
Guarding against the chill.

His solstice, his new beginning
Colder than 0°K

until now, until her
his heart was warmer than the 22nd of July.
She was his solstice.

Battered to gray cold
Hidden until awoken
A rose grows from it

Steam
A kiss
on glass
just lips
pressed on steam
A hint
of the inside.
We, the cold,
linger and
long.

Skin pores close as sun sets.
