| At the cabin. |
Scribbling by candlelight late in life,
hoping for one true line
as night, blue and deep,
floods the empty woods
and the trees gather 'round—
Awaiting a sign
that loss is not the great lesson at last,
when the dog appears on the porch boards,
happy to see me,
fogging the storm door glass—
I follow her home.
