Through the atmosphere, without a whisper,
Approaches the unseen monster before
Proclaiming its presence with a shrill
Eardrum-rupturing howl and the icy bite of its breath,
Pummeling individual humans and other large creatures,
Tossing around like toys minute items,
Tearing tarps off the objects they protect
And casting a fine film of dirt into the air,
Diluting sunlight and blinding every eye
As the monster makes its way across the ground …
The wind has arrived.
