All Windmills Catch the Wind

High above the land
a platform of
alder timber soaked
in brackish water.

The molen spins—
swings its square shaped arms
in circles
trying to catch
invisible current
bleached by sunlight.

Seizing the wind
one breath
at a time—time stands still.

Capturing the unseen—
transferring it gracefully
to the celebrated land—from solstice to equinox.
