this is how the wind shifts

.

This is how the wind shifts:
Like the thoughts of an old human,
Who still thinks eagerly
And despairingly. 

The wind shifts like this:
Like a human without illusions,
Who still feels irrational things within her.

The wind shifts like this:
Like humans approaching proudly,
Like humans approaching angrily.

This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care

 

—Wallace Stevens
