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.

Down below, the merchants tighten
Shutters, awnings—storms will frighten
Customers away.
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...
