event

hard to plumb what 
kind of wind it took to crack 
pine tree in the corner 
twelve feet up 
so that the top fell on top 
of the giant cedars growing just behind 
arms extended to hold up the toppled tip 

a wind that wrests anxious hearts 
out of kilter and 
squints eyes with dust 
that makes it hard to think of anything else 
except for what a volatile violent world 
we inhabit here in the middle of a continent
