Chill Factor


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

We sit at opposite ends of the table,
the chasm filled with wedding oak.
The stuttering conversation, attacks
the weather; the ice, the arctic wind,
the dangerous footing, the chill factor
and the longing for summers past.
The metaphors drip from our lips.
