the weatherwoman said

Dedicated to all mountaineers who having dutifully checked out the weather and set out for some far rocky ridge with the forecast set fair:

The weather will be fine said the weatherwoman;
her London studio a cocoon of truth,

I struggle into the stinging sleat,
soon to be a blizzard.

Sweat or rain nipping my eyes,
or a partnership?

I navigate the ridge leaning into gale blown snow;
a blizzard in truth.
