Unreadable Wind

The power of your breath
knocks me off balance
So I lean into your chest
Hair flying back
to steady myself

The coolness of your breath
ruins my beach day
So I put on a sweater
Skin covered up
to keep myself warm

The vocals of your breath
override my voice
So I stop conversation
Ears for you
to savour my words

The texture of your breath
throws grit in my eyes
So I close them tightly shut
Blink once or twice
to clear my vision

The nature of your breath
I find hard to read
So I take you as you are
Accepting all
because there’s no choice.
