Urgent winds churning skies

 Urgent winds churning skies 

Chasing the jet stream laden with rage

How can some politicians resign

While others turn the page


Wind and weather's daily chapters

In Bronte's starry night

The storm that profit takers wrought

No end of war in sight


As clouds thicken dimming light

Boughs sway like the Pequid in storm 

Like an infant birthing pain into life 

It passes leaving only calm


Leaves rattle applause of the passing

A new candidate's acceptance speech

Tearing the stump out by its roots

Storms of troopers out of reach


From sweltering heat to cool air fresh

Quickly it brings on the cloudy night

No more red glare bursting in air 

But brilliant pin pricks of early morning light


Which trees will sever power lines

When a cleansing rain comes to fall

Evenly distribute it in workshop spaces

Eradicate fascism once and for all
