#Anadama Dough – v2 #snow

Scraping new snow
crystals sparkling
after dropping off the girls
preparing for tomorrow;
Flakes like confectioner’s sugar
maybe sifted flour, powder,
breaking off the slush from the tires
pushing it to the shoulder, the edge.
 
Falling heavy, accumulating,
like too-wet anadama dough
dark and rich with molasses
rolling the snow, building,
The snow-flour sticking,
on the cutting board,
forming little balls, rolls,
ready for the oven,

From day to sunset – v3

The sun’s daily progression,
there at the horizon, the sky,
from day to night to day again,
the sphere of the Earth,
The arc, our mortal coil…
 
From day to sunset coming,
from sunset to twilight melting
from twilight to dusk falling
and from dusk to night, darkness,
The curtain is drawn, to sleep…
 
The arc, dome of the sky,
a canopy of stars, the universe,
the measure of the horizon,
a changing of the guard,
Getting ready to begin…
 
Now night gives way, the stage,
from night to dawn breaking,
from dawn to Twilight melting,
from Twilight to sunrise, waking,
Finally, from sunrise to the new day…

Just before #Dusk - v2 #poetry

Falling from the higher ground
down toward the city
out of the sunshine
just before twilight, dusk.
 
The light warmer, the air,
an amber glow surrounding,
quickly receding behind me
driving down the highway,
longing for, heading home.
 
The vibrant colors turning,
a washed monochrome
melting into sameness
before the coming of night…

A Hint of Lilac – v2

At the edge of dusk,
the sky cooling slightly,
a pink glow rising,
with just a hint of lilac…
 
Before the darkening came,
After dusk’s amber light,
the sky alit in softer hues,
before the coming of night…

He bade the #beast welcome

I wrote these lines without knowing

(how I now wish I had understood)
how true they were in that moment
that a corner had been turned, already,
that there was no coming back.
 
An ancient enemy was called, awakened,
from many years of quiet, of slumber;
He gave the Beast power again,
Calling it forth, by name,
out in our broken world.
 
He bade the Beast welcome,
the dark spirit within him;
He called forth the terror,
The distemper, the fever,
others surely hide.
 
The Beast left a mask upon him
grotesque and garish;
His life was taken over
the Beast now his persona,
his very essence, his Id.
 
Unbound by convention, by law,
societal norms and mores,
He willingly opened Pandora’s Box,
the Beast was loose within him.
alive, fully in control.

Over the Orange Cone – v2

He didn’t know it when he placed it

the worker gathering them up

a challenge for the children

for each one in turn.

Walking to their school van

playing follow the leader

straddling the orange cone

barely clearing its top.

Good thing it was a short one

or they would have had to stop

following the leader

when the leader was too tall.

Over the Orange Cone

https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2011/10/over-orange-cone.html

watching five kindergarteners and first graders

following the after school daycare worker

walking across the parking lot

following their leader

wherever he may go

Summer Rain – v6

A break in the heat

away from the storm front;

No thunder, no lightning,

just rain, warm rain

falling near dusk.

Falling on eager ground,

steaming blacktop,

onto hungry plants -

Thirsty, turning toward the clouds;

Cooling, soothing rain.

Splashing in sudden puddles.

Catching upon open screens

that certain smell

of Summer Rain.

The Green against the Gray – v6

Winter afternoon bright & sunny

green against the gray

eastern hemlock luminous

onto asphalt shining

drawing me to bend

to lift its bough to my eye

to drink in its color.

Not knowing what to do next

transferring sprig to snow pile

green warming,

cocoon forming,

soon to be encased

the branch entombed

in its own cave of snow.
