The Wind Cracks the Windows by John Tustin

The wind cracks the windows
Hisses through the crevices
Pounds on the doors

I surround myself with pillows
Cover myself with sheets
With billowing blankets

Feel my leg cool
On my other leg
My feet unable to thaw

This wind is just too pervasive
This room is just too cold
To be alone tonight
