To the wind

Wrote something to the wind today
on a crumpled piece of paper
and then passed it on to the wind as intended,
just like Andy Goldsworthy always
passes something to the elements,
so that it will remain transient,
not taking on any
of the relative and treacherous
permanence of things printed or
stored magnetically or in some other way
