coldy wint

me shivering
my blanket too thin
i curl up
my palms warm my shin
misty breath
condenses on my skin
I seek heat
Still cold where I lean
Toes bent
My frozen eyes squint
My bed feels like
Icy flint
Could use some warmth
On this coldy wint…

i could use some warmth, as well.

I really liked the way you drive the point home with the sudden ending to the last line. Very skillfully done.
