Chills

If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.

—Emily Dickinson

~

My heart is warm
with the friends I make,
and better friends
I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train
I wouldn't take,
no matter where
it's going.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
