A southern sojourn of a northern wind,
hastens downward
searching late autumn again.
To benumb November's hope -
to declare December's lies.
Comes unbending
to trouble frostproof skies.
Gladly returns so far south to deliver
a sharp glacial shiver,
through mild cloudless slendor
of young guiltless lovers.
To quickly coldly render
warm dreams of you to winter.
