April 5th, 1972

I still see her on disaster's green
Braving the tempest aftermath
To search for siblings in between
The wreckage of a twister's path.

The wind was in her silhouette,
Before the turbulence beyond,
And betrayed nothing of the fret
That the ransacking wind had spawned.

Then, as an angel plucks a ghost,
She whisked me off to safety sure
Or if need be get diagnosed,
Or otherwise be made secure...

Like memories which won't rescind
Of angels in the silhouette wind.
