How

 

the only way to see

the wind is to witness

what objects

to it—what it can

or cannot say. Though

 

isn’t this all in the

eye of the observer:

it’s yes, it’s no, it’s

some degree of

maybe.  Watch

 

the shredded ends 

of each prayer

flag be lifted

be sifted be skittered

to the plane edge

of places to the rising

 

foundation

                        of places

to be either struck

there by other debris

rising and falling in

this wind

 

            leaf sideways pasted

            sheet flip knitting

 

always makes me

think it’s a creature being

chased.  mouse.  mole.  ground

squirrel.  something bound

to be

 

small.

 

how in all possibility

it is likely a bird

in the sky at the most

impossibly right time.

rising.

 

flying by.  dry

umber delight.
