                                                         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.
