The Wind Blows Chilly  

By Arie Cotton

1. The wind blows chilly in my ears 

2. I feel nothing as I think of my dear 

3. I see the wedding white dress flash me, I look away 

4. In my head I am rushing  with thoughts 

5. Along with those of my past lives thrown in the ocean

6. Like an eel electrocuting it’s prey.

7. I feel the wind once more 

8. The time is now four 

9. 
   

10. I am on the beach 

11. With my skin now peach 

12. I smell it the the ocean breeze  

13. The wind blows chilly in my ears 

14. I feel nothing as I think of my dear  

15. Will she be in the library like I saw her last 

16. Or off with another

17. Why am I afraid? 

18. 
    

19. The wind blows chilly in my ears

20. I feel nothing as I think of my dear

21. She is buried in the sand

22. Six feet under on land

23. Her head barely above the salty brown grains

24. She cannot breath as she takes her last breath

25. Like she is a child's sandcastle’s destroyed dismay

26. And I have nothing left to pray

27. 
    

28. The waves flood up upon the shore

29. Like the tears flowing down my flushed cheeks

30. As pale as a ghost in the midnight moonlight 

31. Those lives tossed upon the gushing rocks of mine

32. 
    

33. I leave to come back with flowers for my dear. 

34. The wind blows chilly in my ears, and 

35. I feel nothing as I think of my dear
