The wind sweeps the beach
Pushing seagulls off their paths
And tourists homeward
Gusts surge and explode
Attacking windows and doors
Shrieking, “Let me in!”
Furious tempest
Drives the winter rain sideways
Cold settles in bones

Moss, darkness, cold, cling to
Bones of winter trees
A picture through a window
Sprinkles of rain, pelts of hail
Rivers pound boulders
Autos hum in the background
Mist obscures the distant peaks
Humus mutes footfalls
Nature from the inside out
