Myn one

Myn hand wel colde
Myn fote als
Hwaet coude hath colde hem thus?

Why moste ic ben helde outrely without nedelees
quitten an forbede of fyr an folk an bedde

Why moste ic a-biden anly stede
al be it icham parchaunce in flok

ic wanten somwher ic limpen
ic wanten fyr an fold an bedde
ic wanten pleasaunce

Author notes

Work In Progress.

My Hands are cold / My feet too / What could have made them so cold / Why am I held out so / depraved of and forbidden from fire, people, and bed / why must I endure solitude / even though I might perchance be in a crowd / I want somewhere to belong / I want fire, people, and bed / I want to be happy

    I love it. Yet hate it with all of me at the same time. which i do not see why or how so. but means a lot to me. and I thank thee.
