Blame It on the Wind

Rain or so sky stained cloud; it was

the wind (your trail) made flowered,

mossy grass, butter root and shallow

bowls of soil spring.


I thought of thunder, how resonant

and rich your speaking weighs the blue

light down, travelling to some high point

then burning.


I do not appear to love you only

when I dream; a storm is coming

heading home relentlessly. Rain

or so the sky stained cloud,


it was the wind.
