To Have and To Hold
I kept looking for the place
for the battery in the heated socks
you gave me, expecting another first
to add to the list of gifts I never
dreamed I would ever hold
but I am coming to understand
the warmth may be concealed
in the tendered fibers
designed to release
slow burning comfort that
creates its own electrical currents
on the packaging
