Your Mind Was a Kite (Wind Trilogy)

Your mind was a kite
shut down by a long list of
what ifs. Trapped in
austere winds, you
preferred the easy way out:
Decorating the sky
with post-its
to keep you from forgetting
the source of your despair.

You knew the wind was going
to win over your thoughts
until they turned into braille.
Opportunities unraveled like
new forms of quicksand
but were chewed away by
signs of an ice age.
