while the wind      the wind

if only, i could lift
the ship-wreck from your eyes
beloved

give it wings and haul it
into other skies

the sun stares me level
and cries the tangle of you
till the weight of grief
at your feet, clings
to my heels

while the wind      the wind
sings funeral songs

in a shiver
of trees with winter
beneath this southern sky

and the day
circles me like a spring


and i knew in the crystalline knowledge of you

Glad to know we're in the same breeze,
little one, as I wrote of the wind
just last evening, in prose...

this is a for me!

while the wind      the wind
sings funeral songs

yes it does that
and makes you crazy chasing it
only to become the interception
of its swansong once again


i like how you fly

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul
