Wind-fuss.

Demonstrative, Expressionist,
mad winds blow hard, say nothing new,
up-root little, puppet the yew -
across a sky stream rags of mist.

We're high as kites; our strings so twist
to catch a clatter, spiral through
accelerating failure, due
to prang a furrow - we insist.

For all the chunnering din strums,
drowning urbane Sunday sounds -
birds intermitting chirpy spring  -

in untuned wind deliriums
no wisdom from tumult resounds,
nor resonance forked sonnets ring.
