The cold season is nearing now,
61 degrees today.
Like a warrior before a war,
I’m prepared for it.
And I’m looking forward to
the increasingly colder days.
Though I’ll shiver a time or two
and get chilled a bit, almost to the bones.
I’ll survive the worst of the winter cold
with little use of heat
and enjoy the invigorating effects of the
stirring winter chill.
