Storm Front

The heavy wind
that drives the rain today,
that whips
the crowns of trees
to witches’ hair,
was yesterday
a hurricane in the Gulf,
tomorrow will be still,
the clay
returned to dust.

— from My Will and Testament Is on the Desk

    Hi Sherry. I really like both of these poems, especially “whips/ the crowns of trees/ to witches’ hair.”

    Quite appropriate.
