Westerly Winds


The passions that divided us when we were young Bring us back together when old The bias the malice the pain and the hurt The years in their wisdom remold What once seemed important and drove us apart Transformed like a westerly wind To finish our days attached at the hip Umbilically joined — from within (Dreamsleep: July, 2026)
