A poem by Lola Ridge

Wind Rising In The Alleys

________________________________________________
Title:     Wind Rising In The Alleys
Author: Lola Ridge [More Titles by Ridge]

Wind rising in the alleys
My spirit lifts in you like a banner streaming free of hot walls.
You are full of unspent dreams....
You are laden with beginnings....
There is hope in you... not sweet... acrid as blood in the mouth.
Come into my tossing dust
Scattering the peace of old deaths,
Wind rising in the alleys,
Carrying stuff of flame.






[The end]
