Well, today turns out to be a two post day. I wandered over to the window, with the sun down for the night, and was captured by the slow drip, drip, drip of the melting icicles.

Icicles melting
Slowly in still-frigid air…
Drop by drop they shrink.

An icicle hangs
From the gutter, glistening
In the setting sun.

The stairs grow steeper
As I grow older. One day soon,
They will be too steep.

Night. A quiet room.
I sit alone, quietly,
Waiting for morning.

In late afternoon,
Gray skies, snow falling softly.
I could use a nap.

I've been thinking a lot lately about getting older, about approaching retirement, about being (once again) in a commuting marriage...about hoping this one lasts...

I'm still on the road--
Three marriages, six jobs, and
Forty years later.

Dog sprawled on the floor,
Asleep in the winter sun.
Another good day.
