    Cold

     It's not the throbbing headache that bothers me.
    The loss of appetite or
    How tired I feel and look in the mirror.
    It's not that my voice is used so little that
    It rasps when I finally talk or
    The fact that I'm constantly dizzy.
    It's the way I shiver
    From head to foot.
    The goosebumps.
    I'm chilled to the bone.
    Chilled to the heart.
    No matter how long my shower or
    How hot my tea.
    The feeling is unphased.
    Aren't I always the warm one?

    I'm missing what warms my heart.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
