lover,
when you fear the storm
remember
I’m the one
the wind
is hunting for

it will rip me
from the cradle of your arms
to send me tumbling
cross some desert floor
where jets of air
will pierce me
to the bone

by evening
I’ll be porous
by morning
I’ll be gone

This is truly amazing. I have read this several times before trying to reply. It is truly very powerful and thought-provoking. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

I have read through about a dozen or so of
your writings. I find them interesting and
the way you take something small and make
it become something that sticks to one's
sides is exceptional.

I love Magnus' reply and echo his sentiments....

I also, of course, love this poem - very powerful imagery...the last stanza makes a sharp impact.
