Knowing each leaf
has but one chance
to grow and fall

is a simple matter
of self awareness,

so many that each
may be overlooked

or counted merely
as part of a group

and more easily
trudged upon

under the weight
of our modernity.

This timed exercise of life,
existence,
what a strangeness we inhabit,

where madmen invented minutes
and traded them for money,

so sorry I simply don’t have time,

we measure wars in increments
of time and lose sight of the rest,

seasons are the shortest time.

The Cedar Wax Wings
of course
are relevant to the poem,

as the winter berries
begin to fade,

and the lichened walls
glisten with morning frost

framing the silhouetted
stand of thinned birches,

it’s nice that there’s also
this fullness of sound.

It would all be achievable
but for the greed, the greed,
the illusion of greatness.

the measurable distance
between poems

one maple leaf falls
then another

one Canada goose calls
then another

one snowflake drifts
then another

one memory arrives
then another

one lifetime
then another

and another

a veiled November day
awaiting the rising action

a heron steadying
on one leg and cold

Wickford Harbor roughed
by the chop of wind

a few masts remain
awaiting the climax

the western falling
and winter’s resolution

to have options
is to live freely

a train whistle
at Kinston Station

a revolving light
at Point Judith

a singularly
remarkable oak

a few words
chosen and written

gratefulness
as the moon sets

again

The number of masts
on Wickford Harbor
declines with each day.

Sounds are fewer now,
squawking herons and
honking geese break

the screaming silence,
and where reflection
meets real is blurred

in an exceptional blue.

The myths of winter
are revealed slowly,

emptiness, stillness,
darkness, harshness,

but skies fill and fall
in the canon of snow.
