news from the deck

the wind all day
entangled in chimes

caesura: the pause between winds

clouds sweep in

a remembered sky!

over a foreign landscape...

how easy it is
to move the sky
over a new home

sastrugi

snow with a bite--
dunes, knife edge
in dagger formation
gnashing under your boots

wind today

jerking the tethered wires

the orange plastic ribbon caught on the fence
waves like a hand

and beyond, rising and falling
great lungs of the eucalyptus

Weather reports

forks of lightning, withdrawn
darts of rain
a huge glory over the water
light shining out of a sun-cave

*

clouds with their bottoms intact, firm, dark
stepping stones to the mountain
where they fray with rain

*

grey day
the sun sets in a gold commotion in the west
