& though my skin is steel,
I am but a girl without a wolf,
without a home,
without a name.

& though autumn winds still blow,
I only feel the cold,
for winter has settled
into the hollow
between my shoulder blades.
I repurposed one of my favorite phrases I've ever invented (the last few lines) into a much better piece than I'd originally had it in. Yay! 

This poem was intended to be about Sansa Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, but I realized that it also applies to her sister Arya, and that pleases me greatly! So I'm posting it even though it's not an excellent poem or anything, because I'm just happy about it. Now I'm going to go crawl back into my grad-school-hole...
