Phillip Albert King 1944 (Manhattan)
It matters not the wind that blows, or from which way it steals.
Only that the late wind knows, and comes on winged heals.

About this poem
We all would like to think our feet are firm upon this earth, and that we are secure against every wind. Yet in the late wind of death, we cannot stand.
