Wind

the wind buffets my windows 

great gusts gushing to greater heights 

they keep me in my home by keeping me out of their home 

but i'm fine with that 

so i sit, cozy, wrapped in a blanket, 

listening to the wind buffeting my windows

    i sit and stare out the window

    stare out the window at the brown dead grass

    the dirty snow melting into muddy slush

    the mud that is criss-crossed and destroyed with ruts and tire tracks

  • face

    my face is a cage

    and the doves inside are suffocating

    in a pile of their own shit

     

    my arms are broken wings

    and their featherless forms are useless

  • house

    in the mud,

    in the dirt,

    in the silt,

    in the pores of the earth,

    with the worms,

    the moles,

    the bugs,
