#988 - cool down slowly

988

3.262

cool down slowly

 

once from the sauna into the ice hole

would be to prove that you were no coward

 

twice would be just to show

that you could do it again

had caught the spirit

were undeterred

 

staying with the heat is harder

a bear throws on the steam

and it bites

(that’s what they say in Finnish)

 

but this was all in a leaf yellow grey

only autumn just

there wasn’t any ice at all

 

if you really want to freeze your knees

three times is the spell
