the cold makes my teeth clank

like silver spoons in a forgotten drawer

in a home unfit to be classified as itself.

my legs quiver underneath me

fulfilling their duties of failure,

and i collapse onto the carpet below me.

as my head rests on the unwelcoming pillow,

i then understand the meaning of the cold.
