The Immobile Wind

Yvor Winters

BLUE waves within the stone

Turn like deft wrists interweaving.

Emotion, undulant, alone.

Curled wings flow beyond perceiving.

Swift points of sight,

mystic and amorous little hands,

The wind has drunk

as water swallows sifting sands.

The wings of a butterfly

Feel of the wind

Tentatively; as men die

In thought, that have not sinned.
