There was a cold snap around Christmas - 

A Christmas carol, of sorts, 

A premonition, 

A ghost, announcing its presence 

.

throughout this empty world

    that we live in.

.

.

Cold snaps here bite through your jeans -  

Your legs go so numb that you can feel 

The denim

As it wraps and sags around them. 

.

The moisture in your eyes freezes;

Loose hair turns white,

The mustache under your nose

Hardens

.

into jagged, little stalagmites:

.

Proper cold - an if left underdressed 

You'll fucken die  

.

proper, arctic cold. 

.

.

It's warm now - golfing weather -  

Three degrees below Celsius.

And I don't know, I think back

To a few weeks ago

.

and I kind of almost

           miss it.
