				  Sobriety in Canada  |  from Jules - Saturday, March 05, 2005 accessed 1246 times You can only manage the cold so long    And then it starts to eat at you    Your skin, your bones, your soul.     I’m coming back inside    Shutting out the wind and swirling snow    Shaking off my winter layers    Peeling off my boots and socks    Sitting myself in front of the fire    Holding up my face to the searing heat    Feeling slowly coming back into my fingers and toes    Creeping up my limbs.      God, it hurts.       Where is a St. Bernard when you need one?   |
