Inspired by the worst blizzard in Rhode Island history and all the other storms we live with.

One day in August
I’ll reach back longingly

to the anvil cold and lambent
moonlight on deep February snow

but today, I do wish for the sultry
sweet subtle scents of summer.

winter thrummed
is thrumming will
thrum thrum thrum

until it snows and
reds are more red

The old oaks quivered
in the nor’easter’s wailing.

Bits fell in the scrum, but
quiet returned in stillness

and the roots, deep roots,
held fast during the storm.

Twas a minute past seven,
I was already late,
my bicycle didn’t mind.

My gears were grinding,
the slightest drizzle
glazed oaks and roads.

Some days I ride the same
stretches my dad rode,
wondering where he stopped

to notice these small things.

winter murmurs
across Wickford Harbor

coldest along the edges
where ice settles slow water

a few hearty ducks
do not seem to notice time

no more masts, just light
at play on the wind ruffles

the sun rises over the maple
but will shift a bit left tomorrow

winter dapples too
flakes through still oaks
wolf moon shadows
slightly warmer southern breezes
perfect coffees
laughter
smiles
wood stove heat
soup and crunchy bread
earlier sunrises
later sunsets
all dapples on the winter sledge

The unforgiving sear
of goodness on the soul

makes existence much
more burdensome now,

but for those unweighted,
an inferno of indulgences.
