Feathers of Darkness & Light

 

Northern roared in today;

Whipping winds whistle & moan.

Clouds tumble and roll

Like waves.

Feathers of Darkness &

Feathers of Light;

How blustery cold.

Winds whip the leaves

To freedom & they dance

And spin & spin & spin

In the air and streets.

Cats smile into the sky.

Old nests like husks

Made of dried leaves

Lay strewn like tiny coffins,

And the air is cold, dry and

Electrifying...

Rushing wind splashes my face,

Northern spray slaps smartly-

Stinging and reddening cheeks & eyes.

Summer heat doesn’t die quietly,

And cats smile into the sky.

Death crunches sweetly

Under rubber tires.
