1. Wind and Tree

    Wind and Tree

    In the way that most of the wind
    Happens where there are trees,

    Most of the world is centred
    About ourselves.

    Often where the wind has gathered
    The trees together,

    One tree will take
    Another in her arms and hold.

    Their branches that are grinding
    Madly together,

    It is no real fire.
    They are breaking each other.

    Often I think I should be like
    The single tree, going nowhere,

    Since my own arm could not and would not
    Break the other. Yet by my broken bones

    I tell new weather.

    — Paul Muldoon, New Weather
