Windy Valentine

When the little iron bells
Hanging from the trellis ring
I know the wind has reached
A certain limit to its patience 
And starts to whip its way
Like Jesus in the temple
Through fields and empty places
Building a mammoth wall of dust 
Vesuvius heading right for us
Years later when we've dug
Ourselves out of the debris 
Will we have learned
We ourselves the wind
We ourselves the fury
