a bag of ice

when the power
finally
goes back on, i hear a thousand
beeps
from all over
the house.
i get up
to go turn the lights off,
the tv off.
turn the porch light on.
it's hot as hell
in here.
the ac finally clicks on.
i get a melting
bag of ice
from the fridge and bring
it to bed with me.
i wrap it in a towel
and curl up
next to it.
