Oh, on cold nights like these I'm so grateful for you! I can plump you up, dive under you and curl into a cosy ball. You wrap your tuck shop lady arms around me and hold me tight until I've thawed from this bone shattering cold. All night you protect me from the icy air, settling your knitted feathers softly, warmly on my limp limbs and whispering me to sleep with your toasty breath.
And in the morning, I love you even more. I can hardly drag myself from dreaming. You cling and pull me close. We are both heavy with slumber and I hear you mumble, 'Stay with me all day. Together we are snug.'
