Wind, Blow-by Devi Nina Bingham

Desert wind, blow-

stronger, faster, harder.

Blow the roof off,

rattle the windows,

shake the foundation,

sweeping my hat away.

The wild winds of Mexico

can peel the paint off stucco walls

yet, lulls me to sleep with its howls

like a coyote yipping at the moon.

Coastal breeze, blow-

caress my dreams

and softly tussle my hair.

Hard to believe these two winds

are exactly the same. 

I am more like the wind than the fire.

I would rather play than take my vengeance.

It depends, it depends

who you are to me

as to which wind will blow.
