forgive and protect
maybe i'm the blanket that needs the wind
to prove it's worth
wool on warm shoulders
is just noticed to be itchy
but frost will feel the colder touch of fear
if it pursues to draw you near
and it will know alone
by the calm, mistaken gaze
of one who knows the ways of winter
and persists with the warmth you emit
