catching twelve means twelve months good luck
I will have to wait, chasing doesn't work-
standing under a tree in wind might

one slides down the back of my right shoulder
another strikes me at the throat
my hands lurch up, miss

leaves on their wind channels
suddenly change direction
like me - drift
dash
flop
bal-
ance

and all on that
fateful journey
down
