the wind king comes to claim his lands the leaves take part and clap their hands the swallows from the swelt’ring shade flit forth to flap the graying day and all the dust in devil’s whirl twists tight the ‘testines of the world then all implodes and only stays the music of the band that plays on

I think this is my favorite poem you've shared so far. It's imbued with such grace and a deep resonance that gives the poem a feel of something classic, to be memorized and read again, and again, and again.

A little band manned by Bruce Springsteen? ;)
Dust devils mean evil spirits to the Navajos...
So they avoid them, as the impending storm.
Great Pen!
