downside up becomes
normal, here
winter settles in
and my flesh, now accustomed
to African heat, balks
shivering against the cold
I learn to live
like the lizards, seeking
the sun, stretching
into the warm,
never able to retain enough
heat, I withdraw
as light fades
sheltered in fleece
waiting till the next
mid-day absorption
