Something has hold of my house
rattles windows
drops branches forty feet
cats frozen mid-bite
heads hover above feast
roof intact-more debris I’ve not seen
a blow hard wind, a gust
Smattering of wax over cake
my brother blows hard breath
covers fire, saliva
extinguishes candles, no one
balks at eating blue frosting
Elephant huffs sand across cage floor
hay gone, trunk-finger picks up
minute grains, dexterity impressive
to mouth, to water trough, deeply
sucks, in a flash – blows hard, sprays
unwitting crowd, do elephants laugh?
