Wind Flaunts Fury
day’s light quickly fades
rumbles from mighty jaws near
bitter winds utter their last gasp
my arms are in a flurry
bare branches lash against the farmhouse
struggling to avoid the chimney’s embers
“Snap,” the sound rings out
pain I bear as I split in two
crash-landing on the horse barn
sunrise comes again
displaying carnage below
nearly lifeless, my tears fall like rain
