Summer Storm

The storm today turned the Maple leaves inside out.
Blowing strong from the South, swirling, gusting,
tossing birds about.
Bending, twisting limbs in a sort of rout.
Winter storms are worse, but then bare branches reduce the force -
Now, in June, leaves are like sails hauling an anchored ship.
I watch, and wait for windfall slip.
