Late Wind

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 like to think our feet are firm upon this earth, and that we are secure from every wind. Yet in the late wind of death we can not stand.
