stepping on tornadoes

when cool air mixes

with warm a strange

swirl of sorts starts

to form.


this sometimes happens

by clusters of leaves,

and though you can't

see the air you can see

the outline of these

mini tornadoes traveling

along sidewalks and the

brinks of parking lots.


I like to

step on and

walk through

them.


not only as revenge

for the lives tornadoes

have taken, but also for

how powerful it makes me

feel.
