There are things
I’ve never done,
and this is one –
so I watch you
crouching among
rounded stones
and the sound of
water lapping –
low sounds, I think –
hands flashing, then
cupping, nursing that
tiny spark, clear flame
licking, lapping,
in the winter air.
Somehow when I’m to close to water at winter I shiver….

Being wet and cold is much worse than being dry and cold.
