The cold saunters to the window
Warmth,aggravated, musters a defense
A battle upon crystallized silicon
Warmth has human support
Yet the cold is too strong
Defense defenestrated
Like an unbound mist
Frigidity moves slowly forward
Down the wall to the floor
The determined icy imp crawls,
Pets scurry but the humans sleep
The miniscule hibernation
Senses dulled fully
Freezing fingers reach out
Grabbing the victim but not waking
The skin turns to goose,
Hairs stringing skyward
There is no further hope
All protection is lost
Slowly the skin loses colour
The breath shallows
The eyeball solidifies
The jaw slackens
The cold wins.
