End of a rainy day

Doves flitting into darkness

A sense of loss

First day of advent:

the nights still grow longer.

Let's turn on all the lights.

November 3: "Chopped"

Darkness falls so early.

I binge for hours on Food

Network cooking shows.

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.

December 2: In the dark

driving in the dark
you share the horror movie's plot
don't stop the car

November 17: Don't we all ponder our mortality?

Darkness at 5 pm--
thinking of ducks at roost,
cold, dark water.

February 28: Dark

After the party,

that first moment alone

on the empty street.
