Analysis of Cold Voice
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The child's voice tickled my ears
Stern it protested the winter chills
Fears leave me behind
Not to face Ill meals
Reddened its charred nose
Dripping on hair high
Goosebumps on toes
Frostbitten limbs
Chilled to the bone
Where is my home
If home is your own.

About this poem
Winter air tickling our vocal chords is a sour laugh to a homeless child.
