In The Heat of Winter

The blade touched down on the war-torn ice,
gouged out by the sharpened weight
of professional and novice alike.

It was then that I saw the paradox;
my scarf wrapped tight, in the frozen building,
when just a moment ago we had languished
in the sweltering winter sun.

Still, I took your hand and smiled
savoring the rush of frictionless cold,
our fingers entangled

though I could no longer feel your warmth.
