Day 96, 2023

the air
picked clean by the latest spring storm
fresh hope lingering
over high water

Day 95, 2023

Big wind!

Kentucky Fried Chicken by dying daylight / her /

tunes on a transitor radio / what holds after the storm

remains

Day 53, 2023

home from the river
listening to a short burst
all rumble and fast heavy rain
preceded by a wind gust
all bluster and alarms from the airport
eyes closed, the floorboards move
under foot: moored in the storm
