Facing the Wind
 

Walking was fine

with the sun at her back

for she had no reason

to believe that once she’d turned

to confront the wind

that the final ashes

from a friendships cigarette

would well the salt water

of her eyes

stinging much like the hot blade

of an assassins envy.

Leaving penguins to wallow

In the unique thoughts

of togged up dinner jackets

on an ice flow in the heat

she imagined them drinking

each other’s wine and kissing cheeks

taking care not to let any acidic slips

burn the well-worn smiles

brought out for such occasions.

Awardees waiting their chance

to deliver acceptance speeches

freshly typed

from last year’s celebration cards

unaware that it wasn’t necessary for

revolutionaries to wear ties

or party hats.
