sibling rivalry
by Everett A Warren

May 30, 2007

the wind sweeps down from the moon
driving the rain from cloud-crags
driving it howling forth
the baying of the breeze at its heels
raindrops tears of fright
in meadow and in dale
fleeing before the Hunt
clinging to the leaf-tips
hiding amongst the dew
shaken by whirling gusts
to collapse breathless
in the embrace of roots

impotent the moon rages
across the night sky
seething as his sister rises
her warming breath
coaxing forth the mists
to rise up in the sky
glittering
glimmering
they dance in her light
shimmer in all colours
as he concedes the fight
