A buffeting wind
gate grunts on rusty hinges ~
old man snores away....

Granite Knuckles
bare granite knuckles
grip the horizon
as whispy whimpy clouds
slide over them
the knuckles are moist
from buffeting the wind
whistling wheezily
through broken skin crags
liver-spot lichens
mar the grey skin
giving away the age of it
within...

The Buffeting of the Buffet
The feast was colossal; I’m not really grumbling.
I’m just feeling docile, except for the rumbling.
To put it it discreetly (I could be succincter):
I fear it’s completely defeating my sphincter.

Marionette
West, the winds of morning billow,
Buffeting the cloudy pillow
Of a death-grey sky.
East, aborted sunlight stumbles
Up the cloud-stair, where it crumbles,
Tumbles, and the pieces lie
Rain-smashed, as the wind bolts by.

Shutters, awnings—storms will frighten

God and weather know no reason,
Man’s a puppet, any season,
White or gold or green or grey,
Sunny—snowy—rainy day....

July Winter Storm
trees along the fence line strain
stretched tight by the wind
turning inside and out
leaves in all directions
buffeting and thrashing in the howling gale
sheets of horizontal rain hammer the paddocks
through the knee deep mud
sodden cowprints overflow with water
still the rain pours down uncontrollably
and the wind roars over the hills
scarred with open clay slips
raincoat and gumboots
barely visible in the gloom
the farmer trudges home
after evening milking...
