[February 12, 2009]
We are within days
Of Valentine’s Day
VD, an abbreviation
Infrequently used
By the prudish
amongst us.
A banshee blow
sends outdoor
Furniture aloft
Anything not nailed
down
& secured
doomed to travel,
at least to the
next fence.
The dog sighs
loudly, glad
to be genetically
Downstream of
wolfdom where
he would be
sleeping outdside
In ill-ean-tempered
wind.
3 A.M., I am
enlivened by the
roar,
sit scratching on
yellow dog
With ballpoint and
quyll
Hoping the flow
outlasts the storm.
Two days ago, 64
Tonight snow.
Normal has returned,
Fishing far off in
An ill-defined
future.
