Dream State 12 - Her Face Appeared6656x3840 - digital montage - original work

Tonight, the wind

is a criminal thing,

elementally cruel,

horribly insane

it kicks and it slashes

at fragile things,

like a street thug

at war with the world.

But this is me

Turned inside out,

Set loose and rampant,

Afraid of herself,

Shredding leaves from the trees

With masochistic disconnection;

A primal howl that screams

“Lock your windows, stay indoors”
