THE WIND SHIFTS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: This is how the wind shifts
Subject(s): Wind


This is how the wind shifts:
Like the thoughts of an old himan,
Who still thinks eagerly
And despairingly.
The wind shifts like this:
Like a human without illusions,
Who still feels irrational things within her.
The wind shifts like this:
Like humans approaching proudly,
Like humans approaching angrily.
This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care.
