darkest night occurs
not when I’m farthest away
but when my tilt is
darkest night occurs
not when I’m farthest away
but when my tilt is
interchange at dawn
ramp backs up almost two miles
facing blinding sun
deer draped in twilight
grazing winter’s golden rays
looks warmer than feels
days of gravid clouds
yields little of promised snow
hope for Christmas yet
weeks with little rain
taking toll on lake’s level
rocks protrude like bones
