day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY EIGHT

The Upset
—November 08, 2016

crunching,
October’s variegation
   pollsters’ predictions
*
overnight
all these leaves lost to the wind
   election results

the howl of the wind
as the rain begins
   her concession

a stiff wind shakes
leafless branches
   the chill sets in
*
storm front blows in,
flips the flag upside down
   how appropriate
