Icy inferno

Icy inferno
Continual wintry blast
Rends fleshy comfort
Leaving bones to bear
Frigid encumbrance
Circulation inhibited
As north wind bores deeply

Highly valued insulation
simply protective layering
built-in systems bolstered
By external accoutrements
Quickly infiltrated
As windy spike
Burrows towards heat source
Spine shudders
Nerves crackle
Extremities become casualties
First degree frostburns
Hypothermic needles
Direct arctic injection
To poison
Ninety eight point six degrees
Of desperation

Intrinsic motivation to remain
Within boundaries of
Any shelter
Despite implied claustrophobia
Circumvented only through
Manufactured strength of will
Only absolute necessity
Forces egress
From makeshift womb

Icy inferno
Sullen sub zero wasteland
Jack frosts vengeance
Strewn widely
Wildly
Suns love?
disconnected
Til further notice...
