[Critique Group 1] Sally's January submission

[Sally Rosenthal]

                                                NIGHT WIND

 

 

Insistent wind rattles the windows,

Jarring me from healing sleep.

It howls through bare branches and

Bends them into submission or,

Because it can, snaps the defiant.

Morning will be time enough

To ascertain damage.

 

I have reached an age when

Resilience against life's storms and pain 

Is better measured in the light of day.

Tucking my blankets close 

Around my aching body, I sigh

And slip back into the welcome unknowing.

 

 

 
Sally Rosenthal
