Day 6: JusJoJan: Anticipation

COLD COMFORT

this winter frost
is blameless,
the icy creek won’t thaw.
a nameless bird
anticipates snow,
and cold cuts
bone and claw.

Nameless-blameless… I like that ❣️
And also- cold cuts.

Very well done, Misky.

    When that happens to me I just drink hot drink after hot drink. The kettle gets a proper work out.

      I warmed with a few cups of tea, and then we went for a drive (the car has seat-warmers!) and I finally felt warm and toasty. The fishmonger is always at the local farm shop on Fridays, so we bought some hot smoked salmon and fresh eggs for dinner.
