It was a big-ass stove
made from a 55 gallon drum
and when he loaded its belly
with pine slats and red oak logs
it would growl with pleasure
and lick the room
with its smokey hot breath
And I would strip each layer
of wool and cotton
smothering my skin
with the illusion of winter
until I lay bare naked
under the hot brazen sun
stroking my thighs
through the pane
of the window
I was so warm
in the sweat of that room
with its cotton mouthed dry
and bare naked wet
