First Line: Exultant whirlwind wrung the branches
Last Line: Inaudibly, remembering.
Subject(s): Grief; Seasons; Sorrow; Sadness
EXULTANT whirlwind wrung the branches;
And the weak leaves were loosed with power.
I heard the pelting dissonances;
Anguish in the autumn shower.
But living petals now take wing
Like butterflies with dusky flashes;
April flutters her white ashes
Inaudibly, remembering.
