A hurricane brews far out at sea-
a hot wind of creativity’s evolution
nearly shakes the hand of this unsettled world’s tonic mist.
This highest of tides migrates-
a swarm of rabid vampire bats
forms a wall of near-death fear.
The nuance of the strongest trees
must stand tall at the shore’s edge-
or none do.
