A Pop of Hot for Big Tent Poetry

Big Tent Poetry prompt:  Think about what’s getting you down. Use poetry to cure it.

A Pop of Hot

I flip the heat to high
strip off the fleece hoodie
fling down knitted gloves
remove thermal suits
wool socks and down booties

to the shower I trot
run the water hard and hot
towel dry and skip around
til the sweating stretches
from the inside out

redressed in fresh layers
reset the thermostat on freeze
in that day filled with dread
I put cheer on the back burner
while holding summer in my head

A processed sketch
