the wind. it is. here.  the wind is here.

You try to feel it but you can't wake up

You try to touch it but you can't wake up

You're holding ice and you don't wake up

increase the size and you don't wake up

I do it backwards but I don't wake up

try to reverse but I don't wake up

I sit astride but I still don't wake up

more than a second

when reading the newspaper

I felt the war

I felt her exposed position

I saw myself in the picture

and I

I took a cab there to hold her

I took a plane there to feel what she felt

the winds are here;they've come
just in time.

the wind

it knocks the power out

 all across town
tonight; 
yes.

 hours.

 hours become ages

ages become emergencies. 

 collisions\and damage is done


blackness
black out. blackness.
 so much it's scary; 

to  cut the lights

in the middle of the dark.


 the wind - 

and, it's growing

the winds,
they grow.
