Tasks

coldness barricades itself
inside my body as I sit
outside waiting for this
animal to properly defecate;
sunlight bounces off my eyes
while I drink hot beverages
to stay awake and ward
off these powerful cold spirits;
changes in my attitude
reflect poorly on those feelings
I have used to stay warm but
understand the discrepancies ;
life outside with the cat
in the winter is not a task
to which I look forward nor
is it one I can deny doing.
