~Cocoa

it's cold
but warm
icy mist
is comforting
and blue even the
air shivers

I hand
you sugar plum
jam and
dates with
a sardonic
chuckle don't
trying to
hide to
disguise

Cocoa, medium
chocolate dog
puts his
puts his
on me
sniffs and
kisses me
I can
feel the
nudes and
air moving
around me

my neighbor
tells me he
is welcoming
me in
the icy sun

I forget the
word but
it felt beautiful

my senses
woke up
like he
could sense
my feelings
and was
trying to
erase them
make them
better

I turned
around with
a new kind
of warm
smile wrapping
around well,
baby I
needed that
my lights
turned back
on
