with eyes, wide, penetrating
barbed lashes at the ready
granite-lipped drawbridge sealed tight

blowing ever out, sometimes gently
but sometimes a blasting gale
those mocking eyes brook no entry
that sharp-toothed mouth denies all refuge
that emptiness will not be stained
by the passage of travellers
