Windmill Play

Windmill Play

By: Tyler Ross

He burns bright through atmospheric matter

Free falling into passion, a screaming reaction

Letting the clouds manifest a steady ladder

Words won’t gather, for there is no sight of the ground

His hair whips against the weather leaving an aggressive hissing sound

Non-violent, he let’s the birds hold his trust

Thrusts his hands out and accepts the power of the wind’s gust

Not afraid, he opens up his mouth

Spinning in circles as he let’s go down south

No parachute, no wings, a life without strings

Diving, diving, an end supported by no means

An alarm clock buzz, the sound of an interruption

A trampoline bed bounce cushion obstruction

No sweat, no panic, no crinkles to his face

He flicks the light on, but rolls back over with haste

Mumbling, discontent, and mystified

For once in his life, he knew what it felt to feel alive
