HEATER
Chill has come slowly and steadily like a tortoise
and sits everywhere as the vultures occupy the top of a tree.
Here inside the hostel room
I’m composing poems sitting beside a heater-
the only solace in this bloody winter,
that has curbed my thoughts.

Being curled up next to the heat sounds like a great thing...winter is harsh
