leaf storm

black sky tossing leaves
tornadic swirls of color
the first, fat drops fall

also: flags and flagpoles

harsh wind bends straight things,
straightens the things that hang slack:
i lean, scarf trailing.

leaves in snow

a december thaw
decay dangling on the breeze
smell of unraked leaves

autumn gusting

a sudden gust bears
a wall of orange and yellow.
leaves begin to fall.

mount chapin

stung by wind and hail
at the saddle between peaks,
admiring the view.

wind chill

with shrugging shoulders
relentlessly baffled by
wind's probing questions.
