NORTHWEST WIND

North-west Wind
***********
Hollyhocks Blown By A North-west Wind, I Brace Myself For Cooler Evenings
Listening To Cries From Hollyhocks Down Hill-side, Straining To Hold Their Ground
Gloom Telling Of Seasonal Endings, The Somber And Bitter Cold Increases
Rocker On Porch Keeps An Unsteady Rhythm, Pushing A Feeling Of Uncertainty Upon Me, Holding My Wrap Tighter Around Me, As I Watch From A Kitchen Window
Smiling At Hollyhocks, Settling Into A Reverie Of My Aunt's Old Story-Telling
The Porch Giving An Expansive View of The Weather's Shifting Winds
I In My Warm Remembrance Of Times Had And Never Had
