The Chill of Winter 

in the thick
and thin of the walls
we break
we lean against
tired, expired
inspired to move on
make it 
the flowers on the other side
blooming, waiting
beat the winter chill
perfume waving through the cracks
pressing noses
against the brick
rays of sunlight
creep inside 
reflecting off skin
sweaty and stiff
take a whiff of reality
