twentyten 005: line of chaos

in the empty harbor
there’s low tide momentum
towards a white line of chaos
where the never-ending sea is breaking
on an ever-changing river

twentyten 004: the nowcast

the forecast was for heavy snow
but nowcasting had changed its mind
to almost nothing:
just enough to fill
its spot in space

twentyten 003: Profile

I rested at
the Old Man of the Mountain viewpoint
to look at ledges where the Profile formed
before collapsing but beheld
dense fog instead.

twentyten 002: returning sun

like stained glass
plates of ice are floating
down the steeple river in
the holy resurrection of returning
sun so let us play

twentyten 001: superer

super bowl sunday isn’t superer
than any ordinary day this winter:
empty chilly mostly
sunny with a kiss
of space-time being bliss
