Pebbles cool and round
litter the stream, you pick
a few up, the size of berries,
they rest in your palm.
The cold weighing heavy in your hand.

Wrap your arms around me,
wind and wind the thread
around your finger, tighter still
tighter now. I can hear the wind
raging outside, beating against
my window.
Thank you for reading!
