Cold air stealing space in my nostrils
Like ribbons tying and tangling
Relief that they take the place of dead expectation
That lived within me.

Cold air nourishing
My tongue so used to the tasteless prickling unreturned sonnets
Adoring and adorning you
Castor oil and bitter limes as refreshing as the taste of life itself

Cold air is here after the tempest
The flood of tears that burnt parts of me that were born for you
All you destroyed was what God made for you
Destroyed all, but not I

The whistling wind
Gusts through my hair
Dancing through cotton garments and blowing remnants of
your imprint on my consciousness away
Singing a song of today
