Old Boreas, vainglorious  
screws up his face to blow  
cheeks puffed, the god, notorious  
exhales on friend and foe  
the chill invades your window sill  
your doorway and your coat  
the river, frozen, standing still  
your breath dies in your throat  
Old Boreas, vainglorious  
your ancient breath does worry us  
like snowbirds, we head south  
escaping from your mouth
