Only one? Shoot.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;I had always wanted to be a writer who confused genre boundaries and who was read in multiple contexts.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> &mdash; Jonathan Lethem


Wind once had a way of entering every part of me,
Wrapping each limb in his blanket of gust,
Caressing my cheek and nipping at the tip of my nose—
It is now, after the parts of me that once mattered have long dwindled,
That Wind whistles through my hollow bones,
Courses his way around the insides of my limp, aching body,
As I lie and beg him to cradle my shaking figure,
While he continues to chill the ends of my spine.

:) Wind is not simply wind. Please ask if you need explanation. I'd be more than happy to divulge the ulterior meaning.
