When The Wind Blows. Poem by Tony Adah

When The Wind Blows.



When the wind blows
Strong boughs break like glasses
Brave trees jump up showing earth smeared toes
When the wind blows
The hen's cloaca shows its
Innocuous teeth and men see
The crumbs in the gaps.

When the wind blows
The fire's embers are fanned
And a great inferno rages
On the guilty as well as the innocent.
When the wind blows
The tortoise is at home
And the pelican is jittery
The world watches the wind blow
On the creatures that hit their chest
And say they can whisk the wind
In their fist.
