This Morning Gail Hennessy #6


This Morning

 
Roar of wind breath
netted through trees

 
windows are groaning
against the onslaught

 
will anything hold

 
lights thread the valley
it is not yet dawn

 
along the veranda line
mobiles toss frantic

 
chimes intermingle
a clangour of bells

 
crows call question
and reply through the holes

 
of another rain soaked
day.

 
Gail Hennessy  2016.

    I love "lights thread the valley," and the question "will anything hold" captures the anxiety that high winds produce so beautifully.
