Have you seen the wind?!

Dreaming and remembering

colours walking by

shadows standing guard

I digress

This is a matter of apartment blocks

rows of them

and what I see as I exit my own

into the streets below

With my dog

I approach a shadow

the nearest figure of authority

and ask if it’s safe out

I can nearly make out a face

as the shadow looks down

concerned, he says-

“Have you seen the wind?!”
