        January and February, 2009
 
            Winter Storm


            The ocean is a green fury.  Rain
            falling for three days
            continues like a habit.

            My nerves grow feeble
            from lack of sun.

            On the hill, shore pine
            crippled with age.

            I hear the wind honing my bones
            clean as driftwood.

            A black dog runs down the beach
            chasing invisible gulls.

 


 
         "Winter Storm" was published in Woodrose.
