Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 37. Woodsmoke Season
Now is the woodsmoke season,
an hour of dancing snowflakes
and soot-sorrowed gutters;
days of sock ties
and handmade scarves that shout.
Here stretch weeks dressed in funeral clothes,
when forest and sky engage in grey conversation.
At dusk, I eavesdrop on the wind and river,
the pebbled shallows sharing jokes
with oak leaves reluctant to leave home,
and I wonder when
I’ll scent the warming earth again.
