the wind and the difference
it makes

like stomaching a sandwich
with olives or
tripping up the stairs

what difference
when the wind brings
leaves to your door
with spit in your mouth
and dirt under your nails

a rush of blood
half a heart
on your plate
and you’re spiraling
cause your hair is leaving
and your pants shrink and grow

but what difference
when the wind comes from behind
pushing your shirt up
and freezing your sweat

what difference
does it make
when your neighbors
seem saner than you
with all their yelling
and sobbing to the beat
of fists on an old door

but what difference
when the wind comes
