Example by Jacquii Cooke:

Just Not With The Wind

When the wind blew, she went away
never did she sway
just faded down
to the cold ground

Sometimes I hear her whispering
and littering
sweet-lil-nothings
of stale fuckings

I swear such a nicely blown wind
Thought I'da friend...
now that I'm deaf
may as well shift
