Winterburn

Winterburn

Some get sunburns
Rays travel millions of miles to sear skin. Cooked crispiness.

I get the same symptoms in winter 
If I travel too much in space or time, my skin is the first to burn
I claw at my crispiness, a cycle of itch, scratch, flake, hurt
My tropical body and chatterful mind
Are drying with age
And are much more prone to winterburn.
