LINES FOR DECEMBER 17 



Such a sunset -
sky and clouds

and sun. Everything
in alignment

with evening
coming on.

The dust of
the day settles

like faltering
light. Somewhere

someone knows
what it means.

Darkness
in the west

where storms
come from.

I move
towards

the rising
of the moon.

LINES FOR DECEMBER 15 



Bullet or
the shadow

of a bird
straight in-

to me. Die
or live, the

difference is
a different

kind of
silence.

LINES FOR DECEMBER 14 



It rains.
We expect it

to rain.
We expect next

year to be
like this year.

The seasons turn.
We plan and

tend and harvest,
then the land

lays by
for winter.

In spring
it rains.

We expect it.

You need

The wind
lifts, tears.

The trees
resist.

Only
the leaves

let go.

You cannot

not of where
