Wind, Blow (Dedicated to Frida Kahlo)-by Devi Nina Bingham

Desert wind, blow

stronger, faster, harder.

Blow the roof off,

rattle the windows,

shake the foundation,

sweep my hat away.


Wild winds of Mexico

can peel the paint off stucco walls

yet lulls me to sleep with its howls

like coyotes 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 wind than fire.

I would rather play than take revenge.

It depends, it depends

who you are to me

as to which wind will blow. 


With Love,

Frida
