Some words for the week

something about this weather

how the night lingers

in the early morning

in the form of rusted light

and low cloud

makes these rolling rounded hills

of green points and bare aspen

seem to live beyond the sky

that there is anything above us

there are only the mountains

cutting granite edges

out of the fog

casting dawn pink shadows

over the rest of the world

and winding roads below
