cold upon the distant bridge
as fog rolls down her windows at my feet
cold out among the dodging cars
at the expressway's edge
as pedestrians side step their constant
bobbing weave
cold even in the bitter blowing wind
ah but in my private thoughts
there is pure unapologetic female heat
just because you chose to walk home beside me
rather than catch a warm quick cab
along this quietly frozen late night street..........
