Wild Isha storms
Howls through wires
Funnels through gaps
In my protecting wall
Straw and litter
torn from the moss
Twist in spirals
Over the road
Hands numb from grip
And the expectation
Of the fall
Only the crows black arrowheads
Can hold this furious gale
In narrow-winged joy
Loving their control
Over turbulence and gust.
While I'm at peril in the storm
Wind-whipped
Puddle-sprayed
I'm blinded
by the drizzle blizzard
