BETWEEN STORMS

we are between storms
in Massachusetts
late February sun
streams through lace curtains
as high noon approaches

we are between storms
in Massachusetts
late February sun
streams through lace curtains
as high noon approaches

Corelli is playing on station 102.5
I taste cashews, almonds, walnuts
and some nuts I cannot name

a sip of Shiraz - ah!
a nibble of Vermont cheddar
and (if you don’t like this
you don’t like my poem)
a chomp of sweet gherkin pickle

we are in between storms
in Massachusetts
late February sun
streams through lace curtains
I am seventy-four
I am happy!
It is high noon!
