Whit Howland

Wisp

a small thin piece
of fur

maybe bunched
but just enough

to say
you were there

stayed awhile
and then slinked

off into the day
the wind

jingling
your tiny bells

an almost inaudible
announcement

of your
departure

The Gift

A shiny ribbon
some glitter

paper folded
precisely

edges taped
concealment

mystery
suspense

the best gift
you ever gave us

was and always will be
each other

I Do Not Fear the Wind

No sun,
No moon,
No stars,
Only wind
furiously swirling up the sky.
But I do not fear the wind.
I have a pair of strong wings.
