Layer, layer, layer after layer
A human burrito is born
Kisses aimed between my hat and scarf
The front door is opened
White
White all around
The first step in the fresh, packing snow
Crunch, crunch, crunch
Simultaneous crunches
More human burritos join you
A hill
Perfectly untouched
Picture perfect
You flop backward into the perfection
You are followed by the human burritos
Falling snowflakes greet each other at the tip of your nose
You sit up
Icy fingers slide down you neck
Down, down, down
Until they soak into your neck line
The first steps of making a sledding hill
Warm breaths caught in your scarf
Cold sweat rests in your hat
The first sled is dropped
The first hill has been sledded
The first hill has been climbed
Countless rides and climbs later
A fire warms the inside of your body
A frozen tundra chills through your many layers
Jack Frost's chilled hand grips your arm
Grueling steps through the heavy snow
Barely enough energy to lift your own leg
Stomp, stomp, stomp
Snow flying
Heads shaking
Mittens falling
Coats being torn off
Wet socks on the warm, wood floor
Chocolate scents fill your nostrils
Lava Chocolate melts my frozen throat
Sweet peppermint hot chocolate
Shivers racking through my half frozen
Half unfrozen body
Blankets everywhere
Blinding day turn to pitch black night
Layer, layer, layer after layer
The human burritos ascend again.
