let's be cold

I dream of snow.
of ice.
of Alaska.
of the north pole.
I am
in the blue water
of the north
atlantic.
you shiver and smile.
our teeth happily chatter.
we're wearing fur
coats.
boots, and hats.
only our faces show.
we are eskimos
rubbing our noses
together.
our cheeks are
a happy red.
later, we'll make love
and turn
the heat up,
but for now. let's be
cold.
