Let the wind die down
December 12, 2024 · Poem 30 of 112
What you didn't have—
A cycloned prophecy in your mind.
Yet it was still you who stole
What very well might have been given,
Just to fill that void.
A piece of cardboard,
A red letter on a page,
A fleeting elation, a haunting choice.
Please turn your head:
My hand is on your shoulder.
Let me take you to the park—
And I promise I'll show you how
To let the wind die down.
