Evolving Emotions: Anticipation- Poetry

Here in the Wind

 

The wind drowns out the words

swirling, interweaving,

pulsing in my head

 

I stand at the top

with cars below

the honking is dizzying

 

Feet unsteady

legs limp

hands outstretching

 

An ambulance whines

obstructed by selfish drivers

consumed by oblivion

 

Frigid air

sets pimples on my skin

and escapes into the night

 

A cold sweat on my temples

ushered by my racing heart

and that knot in my stomach

 

I try to remember

what carried me here

to this moment

in the wind
