I am cold beneath my clothes.
I feel the ice within my bones--
I shiver, shrinking nippled domes;

I am cold beneath my clothes
as my tears run hot in those

rivers

running reds, my nose,
ungraciously
in dread, composed

in chartreuse
as hooks suppose

nature

supernaturally:

I am so cold beneath my clothes--

waiting for the hook's complaint

bobbing twice in testament

that once a fish was there...

You are always amazing in that when I read you, I have to re-read over and over and the meanings become ever the more deeper to me.
What can I say? My words are not worthy.
