Settling Winds

and you tap tap on my leaves
high tide descends shipshape as
wholesome as can be brought forth
from the gale force fete relief

oh the hamstring you do hug
taut grasp relieves danger from
belt strap as it leaves beach plank
so the treetop perch easing

soothing dry tides of the wind
cool-charm in a household sigh
bluebirds in their enchant chirp
with their hip-hip-hurraying
