Restless (day 24)

The wind blew in this early morn
like dear Persephone’s breath
emerging from the dark world dank,
her metaphorical death 

The wind blew in this Springtime day
like baby’s fingers in my hair
then mounting drama blew as hard
as shiny trumpets blare

The wind this afternoon is warm,
it’s bland, like un-drunk tea
a marvel of confusion
in a vast Midwestern sea

I know this wind, a friendly breeze
with just an edge of warning
like ladies in the choir pew
lips pursed on Sunday morning

The wind blew in today and still
I watch as clouds roll in
like boulder waves upon the shore
all innocence, restless reckoning.
