Fevers Like Faces

the shiver i feel in my toes
that i know will go away
in time will still decide
my actions in the coming day

don’t freeze the hour in glass
alone again but in a crowd
the phoenix rising from the snow
just like the shiver in my toes

& the hand clutching my heart
my bones shaking in the sun
in time will still decide
my actions that will go away

but what the hell is this
alone again but in a crowd
the cold that grabs the saddest bones
crying in the coming day
