to travel, travel toward the cold.

and 'round each other twist and fold
to weave a heavy cloak of cold. — Joyce Sidman

You have to hold these things and strive, always, for one more word and one more step. You push forward and you fight, for as long as ever you can, until the black world spins and the moon pulls the tide and the water rises up and takes you. — Joshilyn Jackson
