Furnace kicked it today.
quit, like the real victim in the story. coldest day of the year, right when we needed her.
like that shitty girlfriend stephanie, who walked out on christmas
As I write this, I can't feel my toes
frost thick on the inside, the inside!, of the windows
Stephanie had an electric blanket
She says she "doesn't do well with dying" --
like its a choice.
Like giving up is the lesser known relative of loving
Frozen pipes, floor boards pried open for surgery
Climbing down into the crawl space I consider, I'm numb from the inside out
and here I curl up with the mice and sleep till winter is over
