A favorite of mine is *In the Wide Land*, by A. R. Ammons:
Having split up the chaparral
blasting my sight
the wind said
You know I'm
the result of
forces beyond my control
I don't hold it against you
I said
It's all right I understand
Those pressure bowls and cones
the wind said
are giants in their continental gaits
I know I said I know
they're blind giants
Actually the wind said I'm
if anything beneficial
resolving extremes
filling up lows with highs
No I said you don't have
to explain
It's just the way things are
Blind in the wide land I
turned and risked my feet
to loose stones and sudden
alterations of height
