IN WIND THEY CLEAVE

By Steven Ross Smith

Wind laments, Beside the greening groaning trees Winds lament Windows scattered moonlight Orange suns by night Blue birds by day kisses taste excites Wind shudders my skin A lovely leaf she clings A strong branch I reach Through the stem that links our hearts Winds lament Winds caressed my skin A lovely leaf I clung A string branch he reached Thorough his stem linked our hearts Wind links our hearts A fire’s been lit A warming flame She trembles with desire With fright, she fears the light A fire was lit A forest burning wild Burning burning She panics Flees the heat She fled!

Burning burning burning Un-twine! Un-twine! Un-twine!

In wind they cleave He stumbled in the gloom I shouted to the moon Until my throat grew raw

Until his lips grew dry with salt Until the echoes halted A lovely leaf I clung A strong branch he reached He held me in the light I shone a gleam so bold In wind we cleave Her glance turns back In her pale tearless eye Forever his reflection Wind has flown Flown
