In the hallways I walk, the air is brittle and shatteringly cold. Placidly it hangs, waiting to stir. My numb limbs are smooth, white marble, not penetrated by the crystal cool temperature. On occasion, I shed the heavy black shrouds for red airy veils. The bright colour, offers internal warmth.
The facade is fixed in place. My features are distorted, blurry to curious eyes.
