Taking the temperature


Taking the temperature
Stealing outside
In still numbers
Counts along
Divisions
Between skin
And bones
One cover
To multiple
Working parts
A machine
To crush stone
That bruises
A freeze
A thaw
A stolen thing
Given to
Extremes

Icy the level
Falling
And rising on
Occasion deep
Unchained by
Fleeting thoughts
Of wings
