A bus ride sniffle. Muggy, singed sight
And breath that rattles, tar and brandy stained.
Those cello strings begin to violently rasp
With night's debauchery leaving sick and pained
Machines to restlessly attempt another
Faulting, rust encrusted, asthmatic gasp.

The kitchen glistens with renewed ochre,
A Sepia hue adorns impassive hobs,
Akin to cisterns - last night's were grubbied
By dusted finger prints and frothy gobs
Of spittle, traces of coagulated
And moistened talcum, furtively hurried.

A warmth that shivers upward runs as the blow
Assails the frosted leaves as I dance in the snow.
