"High Winter" (from the poem 'another winter in the valley' by Elena Botts):
i am not there. ice will form around the banks.
of the river i miss her.
the sky will be made of a silver gauze.
each night a thunderous darkness.
and a strange backlit fog in the hills above the taconic
those brown hills- nothing but brown
divided by the power lines.
i could shed a silent tear as i recall.
the bend in the road as once i saw for the first time that lake.
known only to those who had lived
here near the many docks
along the road, fell into shallows, i and thank god knew would lead me nowhere.
that cold which shocked me alive.
i had a winter's appetite.
i was made of the pale light
each color pulled deep.
