it tears through


the wind
hovers like fingers tearing


the crisp cut edges off
the paper of a day

Beautiful spare words and images. It makes me cold just thinking about it. Here we have snow and cold (for us) but not wind. My son's in Calgary today where it's minus 35. It's all relative.

wow reya - he struggles to hold in the very thin veneer of compassion that the wind usually carries with him. i rode right into his minus twenty one face last night. hooooooooeeeeeeeee it was verrrrry thin and frosty!!! steven
