Turned from the wind – v2

In some sense, all of us

when we are in the winds

exposed, alone with our thoughts

naked on the summit

upon the high places, the peaks,

huddled against the wind

like the juniper, the mosses,

the trees remaining, bend over,

anchored in the rock, the soil,

the ground against the wind.
