To Hide Behind Shelter...

To hide behind shelter is to seek safety from the wind. For the wind freezes the bones and strips the skin. When the skin is stripped the bones are bare. The homeless know this. See their rags.

To hide behind shelter is to seek safety from the wind. Have you ever ran before its might? It chases me wherever it goes. My hair is ever ruffled.

To hide behind shelter is to seek safety from the wind. Huddle against the concrete column; feel the dying warmth of the sleeping sun as the night's dramatic wings flap with anguish.

To hide behind shelter is to seek safety from the wind. Let the shelter stand until the body can't feel. Then the wind may buffet me as much as it wants, my teeth won't chatter, and my Heart will slow.
