Why Would Such a Tough Fella

Be scared of a little wind?

And he replied . . .

As for this life my dear – I am scared
Scared of the pale drizzly afternoons
The holiness that loudly excites thunderstorms
The singular pond in which my wings pretend
Pretend with the tenderness of a hummingbird
And with these words my heart seeks the afterlife
The long and everlasting grass where my adequate pulse lives
