Sleeping toes touching toes
It’s wintery cold
lying face-to-face they sleep
bolster in-between
****
their toes touching toes
to know the other is warm,
alive and kicking.

Increased winter mortality is reported as an important public health matter in China.
In U.S. death rates in winter months have been 8 to 12 percent higher.

Extreme weather definitely affects the vulnerable, including seniors. Always good to check on elderly loved ones when we can!
