Strange Wind - Mia Doi Todd

There is a strange wind in the air today

Tree branches are budding and then blown away

There is a strange wind in the air today

Spiny pods are dropping and then drift away

But they will be blown

In the next millennium

And I promise myself

I’m coming with them

There is a strange wind in the air today

My skirt lifts up, my hair’s astray

There is a strange wind in the air today

My little body’s born up, then thrown away

But I will be born

Into the next millennium

I jump aboard the ship

Of bored lost children

There is a strange wind in the air today

I fill up my hot-air balloon and untie my stakes

I will be blown into the next millennium

I will be born into the next millennium
