Aerial assault


Rapid rise of wind farms under attack
The Independent, 30 April 2012

Having cooked up a storm we might as well eat,
set out our stall
to reap the wind, become a nation

of millers. See them massing on the hillsides,
mustering on the horizon
between the sea and the sky.

A sudden gust and they’ve seeded the shore,
set to colonizing our cities,
marking us out from rooftops.

Demanding equality, citizenship, land rights, food, water...
Too late we discover which way the wind is blowing.

  1. Bwa-haha! and Brrrrr....Cooking up a storm -- always thought that an odd phrase. Strange images abounded, but not this one... :)
