The Cold

They say it is cold, they say it freezes

The child wails, the world gets maddened

My foot is without sock, it has no heat

But I do nothing, cannot feel damaged

It's not that I'm sad, not that I'm anxious,

The others are in pain, I wish had pain

Child wails and I have no nervousness

If only hot whips would hurt and I, ordained

Yet I am still, my heart is still, callous

What do they know that i have not in mine?

They cry, I watch, stroll, unable to cry
