An untamed wind lifts up
the skirts of trees, shaking them
like wet-wash some old woman
pins toward the sunlight.
It shrieks like silly,
adolescent girls.
It bends sound away from
the ear. Its breath is not nice,
is laced with ice, unrelenting.
This devil wind, it pushes
all the clouds out of the sky
so they can lie about
the coming winter - mimicking
the lamb of spring, concealing
the bloody jaws of cold, drear,
forever death.

"A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Rooevelt
