Letter about weather
I send you morning at about nine. This morning. With the gulls blown inland Over the suburbs, meaning storm, But the air new, the tall sky gray blue. Wind rattles the windows and the trees. More than a breeze is blowing clean My words to tell you what I mean. I send you this morning. I send you the sudden warm Knowledge I have now that night Never can be dark, that this wind blowing This morning will blow it white. And still believing you care, I send you myself as I stand here In the world's air without fear, This morning. | |
