Excitement

It runs through you suddenly like the shock from a faulty outlet
it's the gust of freezing wind that hits you as you leave the water
outlining where your body ends and the air begins
it's like the wind in the storm that can't decide which direction to blow
pushing the leaves in a spiral towards the grey and bulging clouds
it's like biting into an ice-cream cone
the cold penetrates the casings of your teeth
and grips at your nerves
