In the wind

parts of a
world move
move unbidden
only toward
the wind’s
destination
a strength
a drive of
it seeking
seeking
while it takes
what can be
taken, driving
driving random
random through
this patchwork
wilderness of
just small
things taken
taken up
to where they
would not
have been this
second ago
and larger
things hold
just longer
longer giving
themselves at
last no
longer
usless
appendages of
a world
now yearning
yearning
in full
consort with
all
other

Ed...It was a beautiful Santa Ana day in So Cal...wasn't it!!!  The wind took my car on freeway and tried to make me change lanes without the proper turn signal.  Love your poem!

Yep, love that wind....had to try and write how it felt.

But my lips are chapped from being out in it today....and I had an experience like yours, Martie, wind wig-wagging me on the freeway.
