Latch-broken hood
blowing across my windshield
at sixty mph on a Wyoming morning drive
Electric ozone-infused air
racing ponies across a field
just before a thunderstorm
Clockwork predictability
a cooling breeze up the North Fork
on a hot summer afternoon
Into a crosswind
quartering northwesterly
for two hours on an icy Idaho interstate
Salty updrafts
surrounding me
on a bluff overlooking a twilight Alaskan sea
Gunshot crack
a splintering frozen tree
high on a windy winter mountain ledge
A glassy sea
first rippling
on a dead calm morning
Moments in time
Memories of air
