Unrequited in Oklahoma
(C) Famida Basheer
Outside the naked wind roars
Racing through cracks in windowpanes
Uttering gibberish in her frenzy
To communicate; guttural and screeching by turns.
The rain pours down carving new water roads
That flee away with what used to be a day.
Tomorrow broken trees and scattered leaves
With smells of yesterday
Will tell the wind's story
To an immune world .
I have loved, see, I have loved, she will whisper.
Gently then fiercely with incessant tears
Have I loved.
The game was true, the rules uncertain
Yet I have loved.
The words were new, some left unspoken
Still I have loved.
Havent I left Armeggadon in my wake to show you
I have loved!
And the world will shake its head
look skyward and seek a sun.
