In The Dark

My debris covered driveway after pulling larger limbs to the side.

In The Dark

12/1/11

Violent winds rip,

debris flying everywhere

all night long

testing branch strength,

rootedness to Earth

as Air whistles,

howls, is locomotive

driving head on

through oak, redwood,

madrone, bay, eucalyptus,

all are effected,

and power lines

with vulnerable wires

easily become disrupted,

severed, leaving us

in the dark.
