COMFORT IN THE COLD (Poem)

by Renny Ramos

You turn to me

like a frightened child.

I hold you in my arms

to soothe your grief.

You cling to me

as if I held your life in my hands.

And in that moment -

we forget who we are.

The last gasp of pleasure finally dies away

and we lie against each other.

In our emptiness, our only escape

was comfort in the cold.

• The End -
