Wind Turbines in Kansas

WIND TURBINES IN KANSAS

The tops of their spinning rudders

disappear into sky;

fade to mystery as they wind

unknown in lowered clouds.

What songs do they sing to the sun

beyond my sight?

Are they whispering love sonnets

to water particles clinging to their blades?

Is there a suffering sigh

pulled through each draft?

Or are they mute, indifferent to

their existence; solitary amidst a

clan of multiples - twins, triplets, quintuplets -

cousins and in-laws living in the same 90-acre house?

Alone.
