Knocking on my door

That uncanny descending feeling

The Village In The Sea
...The howling wind without feather or crown
Swept through the town like madman on a ladder
Huffing and puffing and inflating its gut and breath
Stagnant air all over the prosperous town,

I remember the coal fire
Crackling and flickering
Toasting bread as well as feet

The fluttering of mushed sounds
Paddle inside mine ear.

Like breaking ripples around heaven,
