The Flour Windmills Make

The Flour Windmills Make

I've often caught myself staring at windmills 
Thinking 
Every breath is but scattered millet

We take turns turning turbines 
Catching and releasing spirit
In the flesh 

I've had the wind knocked out of me
By flighty books heavier than air
Collections of pages torn out of tornadoes
And at times I have been able
To hurriCane to the inevitable conclusion and ultimately inAbel mine

The touch is feather light 
And packs a punch
The kindness of which is windswept

Invisible brush strokes winched by wings upwards and away
The flux and flotsam 
Falls for us all
I have the great fortune of drawing breadth in this dimension 
And in this parallel 
I have heard that wind is caused
By the stampede of ethereal horses 
And their charges
The ruts of the course
Are air pockets
That lay untilled 
Until the windmill 

Turns
