Wind Rising In The Alleys

    By Lola Ridge



    Wind rising in the alleys
    My spirit lifts in you like a banner streaming free of hot walls.
    You are full of unspent dreams....
    You are laden with beginnings....
    There is hope in you... not sweet... acrid as blood in the mouth.
    Come into my tossing dust
    Scattering the peace of old deaths,
    Wind rising in the alleys,
    Carrying stuff of flame.
