Day 8: Earthquake Pains

Cold feet on hard concrete
Slap and tap until her bones creak
Out the door and into the rain
Stinging feet feel the pain
Once so warm now freezing cold
Warmth is something very old
Collecting dust in the attic
Next to tvs that only get static
She stops and feels the earth quake
Her chest heaves
Her heart aches
