Tricks the Autumn Wind Plays

                                        Tricks The Autumn Wind Plays

The plastic tarp on the garden

moves like a stranded sea creature.

It breathes and flaps in the wind.

Its rock-tethered arms,

tremble to be released into this breeze

that teases it with freedom,

and memories of watery depths,

and now, the dream of flight,

having tasted air.
