midwinter twilight

one last flight of ducks

lifts off the river

3 November 2025 (book stack)

book stack . . .

the windows dark

by six o’clock

the depth of the dark

at three a.m. then five

self-reflection

January 12: Mourning

End of a rainy day

Doves flitting into darkness

A sense of loss

Darkness falls so early.

I binge for hours on Food

July 29: After dark

at home after dark
we hear geese flying over
there's Saturn and Mars

December 8: Consolation

Sunset before 4,

glorious hot pink and gold--

light another candle.

August 29: Mountain nocturne

No moon tonight: clouds.

No owl: crickets.

Mountains, fields: a seamless dark.

December 22: Some nights

What brings warmth some nights
is simple: dish-washing,
cat's fur, mac and cheese mix.

December 6: Dark

Dystopic movie--

we leave the dark theatre,

enter night's long tunnel.
