Louise Glück – Dec. 3, Iyengar III

For my Brave Sisters! On our second, third, fourth wind?!

SECOND WIND

I think this is my second wind,

my sister said. Very

like the first, but that

ended, I remember. Oh

what a wind that was, so powerful

the leaves fell off the trees.

I don't think so,

I said. Well, they were

on the ground, my sister said. Remember

running around the park in Cedarhurst,

jumping on the piles, destroying them?

You never jumped, my mother said.

You were good girls; you stayed where I put you

Not in our heads,

my sister said. I put

my arms around her. What

a brave sister you are,

I said.
