November 9*

Posted on November 9, 2012 by othermindpress

island light - Roche Harbor, San Juan Island

remembering now
this season
the world is mostly dark

howling black nights
and many days only a thin
lens of grey light to the south:

muted water
dark knots of land
lowering clouds, layer upon layer

wild unwavering winds
pressing out
the weakening light
