Cold liquid drips

Into my skin and rips

Through a cylindrical tube

My eyes stare frightenedly

At this sight; which occurs annually

Pale green veins sting

From the liquid’s wring

Over my arm; fingers clasped

Icy frost relapsed

My bones; whitened

The cold heightened

Numbness vibrates

My arm; whistling

Like a snake’s hissing

A strong, chemical smell 

Vaporizes through my nose; as though I fell

Through a trance of chemicals

Grayed wisps counted by decimals

Decimals; scrawling the amount of fluid left

My arm thaws; free from the chemical’s theft
