The wind demands to be let in
full force on the kitchen window
all the way from the cold Artic
where Polar Bears roam, and
Inuit people make a living.
You would perish outside
be overcome with the cold
a frozen corpse for neighbours
to find in the steeped up snow.
It has happened here before
a poor man found on his
doorstep, waxed face, deathly
blue grey, unseeing eyes, a
silent mouth, stiff limbed
snow speckled hair, stone dead.
