I am feeling very strongly about the chilling frost 

that kisses the marrow of my tarsals and metatarsals,

a wintry storm of snowflakes passing between red-coated friends;

the nails in the floorboard oxidize, and turn blue-

blue, the faint colour of snow that appears so crystalline white and pure. 

The cavernous room, host to waltzing blood cells and antibodies, 

turns down the thermostat-thereby chasing out the guests.

The guests become frigid, and they cannot put their jackets on, or climb under the covers of their many rooms-

Brain, stomach, heart, and various other organ hotels turn their lights off. The winter fog in the vein-y streets 

coats the cavernous town. 

The ecosystem perishes.
