Mikaela Castledine #176 Icy

My two feet

dressed inside

good boots

of strong German leather

and socks soft

as wool is 

are still cold

The warmth

pumped down to them

from on high

has leaked out

of my skin

long before reaching

the final stop

on the circulation line

and the insulation

of hide and fibre

serves only

to keep them

icy inside their encasing
