Tricks the Autumn Wind Plays




Tricks The Autumn Wind Plays



The tarp on the garden

moves like a stranded sea creature.

It bulges and flaps in the wind.

Its rock-tethered arms tremble to be released

into this wind that teases it with freedom

and memories of distant depths,

and now the dream of flight,

having tasted air.

Thanks, Marianne! Sometimes the words scramble onto the paper - take a look around - and fall into place ;-)
