No, a "wind advisory" does
not mean a meteorologistmakes suggestions to wind
about its breezy business.
Here it means driven winds
coming East off the volcanically inclined
Cascade Mountains into easily
offended Puget Sound,
which usually hosts Pacific
winds from West, warm. Something
tonight will rattle, bang, or both
outside this dwelling. We
never can predict what. We'll
listen to the ragged rhythm,
the knocks and ticks, not get
up, wake to debris-filled dawn.
