I've Still Got Something It Wants
Randall Brown

The wind wants to topple; the rain to drown; the snow to bury; the twister to turn my home into a whirlygig. The nor'easter awaits, a boogeyman. A lark, such thoughts, Harold says. A symptom of darker things. Each time, when Nature decides not to bid me adieu: an omen.

Hey, speaking of Harold: Remember 'Harold and the Purple Crayon'? One of my bestest favorite books as a child (me the child, not the book).
