Mikaela Castledine #255 Wind Instrument

I've heard the voices of the wind
sing murmur sigh
but here
the deep double bassing of it
storm throated across
the resonating panels
of a seaside house
is low as bowing
bottomless and
still in the dark descending
calling whales
I would not be surprised
to find them obediently coming
humming in the pale sick shallows
of the recovering morning

  2. This is so good, Mikaela. It fairly dances, doesn't it?

  3. Thanks all. I did have to listen to the wind all night until I discovered if I closed a window and shoved a sock under the door I could quieten it down enough to get back to sleep!
