Sadness clings to me
the way my clothes do
after I have surfaced from icy waters
in the middle of winter
and come out shaking,
soaking wet
thick denim and cotton suffocate my body
no matter how much I pull at them,
I am entangled, so I wait
for the water to create puddles
beneath my feet
and I smile.
