It's An Ill Wind

Thought yesterday was a weather
misery, did you? When, though
you felt you had bundled more than
adequate to the thermometer reading
and visual clues you nonetheless
felt, out on a jolly woodland jaunt 
trail circuit you must have strolled
accidentally nude, into a walk-in
freezer and yours was only one of
many pale, white forms shivering 
in a copse of corpses, taking slow,
painful breaths of frozen carbon monoxide.
Ah, well then, welcome to today! More
frigid, wind-blustering, weather, utterly 
merciless, with ice daggers reaching deep 
into your lungs, face rouged from the 
deadly skin-cell-freezing cold hurled by
that ferocious wind. A timely reminder
of winter, as though you'd forgotten.
