Weather

Those branches move in 

ways they would not choose.

 

There’s blowhard jerks 

at every compass point

 

jostling for dominance. 

East-southeast form a syndicate,

 

for today at least. Waves obey.

The moon pulls back. Clouds 

 

play a mystery game, crossing

the sky in smooth apathy.

 

It all comes down to this, 

I watch branches from a window.
