The Stillness Outside


The stillness outside;
This December Saturday; 

The humming inside.

Where are the cars now,
As I sit at my window?
They don't want to come.

Olivia's hay
Must be supremely gourmet
As she savors it.

Sun vies with dark clouds;
A chill wind blows up the road;
The streams are quiet.


Fallen shelf fungus
Lies next to moss covered rock;
Stream whispers nearby.


The wood pile has changed;
There's a sense my neighbor's gone;
New car in driveway.

Snow is not far off;
It waits in the thick dark clouds;
The earth takes a breath.
Everything is brown;
Fir trees are only background;
Sky is just lighting.
