It comes like crushed ice packed with silica gel
It makes a man in the desert exhale frost
Students in the dormitory forego the siesta thanks to it’s false comfort.
A taste of winter in the tropics
The Antartica extending a handshake to his sister Africa
She trembles while politely entertaining her brother
His presence is cool but extremely dry
She prays for her husband the south-west to return from the sea with his moisture.
Her children are hungry because her brother has consumed her food.
Her husband will return with the rains to nourish his farm
Trade winds!
A handshake from the north
