It's So Cold Up Here

It's so cold up here
that the pen fluid
struggles to write

So during pauses,
I put the cap on
tight, to protect it
from the dryness.

And after each
pause,
I jot things down.
(repeat cycle)

Until I am done,
when sleep
overtakes
me

And I then
Lie down,

to dreams

that do not
freeze
with each
tremble
