8 March: for RDP’s Apricity

AI artwork, a woman walking in the snow storm.

The Heat and Freeze of It

You know, like apricity,
that feeling when the sun
bores deep into your skin,

like that stinging when your
brain’s in paradoxical cold.
Is it hot or cold; don’t know.

And he says, Yes, what about it.

Well this feels just like that,
all stinging, I say, brushing
snowflakes from my eyelashes.

  3. You had me chuckling at the line “And he says Yes, what about it.”
    Apricity – that feeling I get when I eat warm apple pie with a scoop of ice cream.
    Good morning, Misky! What a nice way to start the day! ☺️

        1. I don’t mind it; I’m staying indoors today. No sweat, as they say.
