November Storm

The wind tonight is merciless,.

tearing up the yard and throwing its

damaged ego against the doors.

Branches whip against the window pane,

bin lids flap with dangerous jaws

grabbing all that lands its way.

Afraid to venture out for a sniff about

the dog curls her back to it like a cat.

We hear the leaves circulate at the door.

Coal in the fire argues with the wind; hissing

and spitting stubbornly; casting shadows on the wall

like warriors or better still, angels.

The wind tonight is merciless.
