angry with wind

yellow orange leaves twist
and fly and grind
everything turns red rising
like wild mountain trout spurn

lovers rake the wilderness
suture their wounds

all our sins so strong
the bitter blue buckets used
to rhyme our circle
i know euphoria will own

our random race to the finish line

gritty does not figure into this wind
