Watch Hill Jeffrey Greene
It disturbs us
being told what to do
by the wind. It's not only
tying up our boats
that just yesterday, it seemed, the wind pushed in the bay,
a steady ring, but it's admitting we are no longer included.
If only we wore
the right clothes.
If only we settled for less
like the dunes.
If only we had wings we could veer across
the face of it, the wind telling us
to go in
out of the cold. There's the huge yellow hotel of our times
and our reservations there
for the off-season.
