how you keep warm

your feet are cold.
your heart

hesitates.
you stay put, unable
to move
forward.

love is no longer appealing
to you.
no longer
an unfulfilled goal.

you listen, but believe no
one.

you bundle up.
button your coat up
to your neck

in the brisk wind of time.
this is how

you keep warm now.
thick coats,
a fire.

things are fine.
