Step by tiny step, the day advances. Suddenly,

the air explodes with birds.

Tess sleeps through it. When she wakes,

October will be over. Guns and talk

of shooting behind us.

The Window

A storm blew in last night and knocked out

the electricity. When I looked

through the window, the trees were translucent.

Bent and covered with rime. A vast calm

lay over the countryside.

I knew better. But at that moment

I felt I’d never in my life made any

false promises, nor committed

so much as one indecent act. My thoughts

were virtuous. Later on that morning,

of course, electricity was restored.

The sun moved from behind the clouds,

melting the hoarfrost.

And things stood as they had before.
