Many things are true,
I know this is, too:
there is no cold,
there is only
the absence of heat.
Heat is a
fluid thing
that has no form
except
for life-saving warmth.
Cold only happens
when heat is
not there.
Cold is not a
thing.
It is a
happening
that makes the body
shiver and shake.
Heat relieves that pain,
makes you sweat
(and sweat can be a nuisance)
but
it is just heat
reassuring you
that it
will always
be
there.
