The sycamore drops
brittle grenades in the driveway.
Where there were snow
angels in the yard, now
there are sticky fingers
of mud—
But other emissaries
are on the way:
over the harbor,
winds pungent with salt;
the moon’s coppered
edge a sharper argument.
In response to an entry from the Morning Porch.
