“Your hair is winter fire,

January embers.

My heart burns there, too.”

I’ve been reading King since 6th grade. When I was in high school I overheard a guy near me speak this poem above, from It, to a neighboring student, that he wrote it for his girlfriend. I looked over at him and said “You better hope your girlfriend never reads It, bud. He then looked at me wide eyed and asked, “you’ve read Stephen King”?

I then said, “yep and there’s a movie”. He replied “She doesn’t really read or watch scary movies so it’s cool”.

To which I said “Oh well, there you go, A Ok then.”
