trying to dissimilate
and articulate my mind
- a daily crusade
today
transient weather turned chill outside
a bludgeoning wind blows
bends leafless cradles
bone dry limbs
try catching grasp-less gusts
and counter-bend
until they snap
gusto howls echo's through
transparent pane between us
my room a safer place but still
i see and think and wonder
if such a tree i am not
and if i am how do i bend?
to fight the wind?
my leafless limbs outstretched
no longer to capture sun but i
to no avail snap
i'd have none of that!
but passive and limp
i lay down arms
- enjoy the caress
then straighten myself upright once more
all turbulence beyond
