Arthur Seymour John Tessimond Wind Poems

  • 1.
    The sun, a heavy spider, spins in the thirsty sky.
    The wind hides under cactus leaves, in doorway corners. Only the wry

    Small shadow accompanies Hamlet-Petrouchka's march - the slight

    Cats no less liquid than their shadows
    Offer no angles to the wind.
    They slip, diminished, neat through loopholes
    Less than themselves; will not be pinned
