Wind, For Example

The patchwork quilt spider web 

sways like trees, like waves,

like wind is more than friend

for elastic wood and churning water

and knotted silk desiring  

the greeting of the breeze.

You are here to welcome the sky

to make yourself stretch,

to regurgitate from your floor

for feeding sun-bathers darkness,

as a fine string and a net

welcoming what falls into you

as your sustenance, no searching.

Buildings become scattered bricks

as the palm tree takes a new shape.

Be unconcerned with odds and outcomes,

movement breaks as much as builds,

marriage vows partners in pain

to weather together, welcoming storms

carrying your destruction and next joy.
