A River in the Spring

Unfamiliar heat in a cold territory.
Your highest walls can’t hold it
And you pray they don’t fall
And you pray
You aren’t lost
In the deep wash
Of the breath
Of another.

And you watch them in their sleep
And you wonder
If they watch you too.
What could you do?

Their steady breath defrosts your icy insides
And like a river in the spring
It overflows from your heart,
From your soul
From your very being.

Or so it seems.

"And like a river in the spring
It overflows from your heart,
From your soul "
