and so goes the morning

staring
out the window
watching the light change

bare trees
drag shadows
across gray
roof-tops

sunlight glints
off passing cars

the day goes on
with or without us

when it rains
it rains
for days
on end

seems like
it’ll never
let up

then
suddenly
without warning

clouds part
stars appear
and the wind
slows to a whisper

everything
is as it was
as it should be

and tomorrow
the sun will shine

(D. James)

all the elements
are here
heavy rain
fierce wind
bending trees
blowing leaves

I am shirtless
and grateful
on the other side
of the window

Some days
it feels like
fighting a fierce wind

You just have
to lean into it
and move a little
slower

Tonight
a violent wind
blows the city
to dust

Trees bend
people squint
as if in bright
sunlight

A haze
envelops the streets
women wrestle their skirts
hair tossed
every which way

A violent wind
shreds the city
tonight

Palm fronds litter
Sunset Boulevard
the homeless huddle
like refugees
in the entryway
of a long abandoned
nightclub

The weather
is the one thing
this town cannot control

gray clouds
wait all day
for the rain

wind picks up
weeps heavily
with the sound
of flapping flags
and water on pavement

people run for cover
as the world
becomes glossy

(D. James)
