WIND FROM THE SOUTH



In certain seasons of the year the wind
Picks up small things in
Patagonia --
Mice, twigs, sins of a non-serious nature --
And rains them on
Buenos Aires.
When he was young, the poet Borges
Persuaded Bioy Casares to free the wind
From the jar where the town council
Had imprisoned it by a vote of six to three.
