Excerpt from

An Old Life



  Snow fell in the night.
At five-fifteen I woke to a bluish
  mounded softness where
the Honda was. Cat fed and coffee made,
  I broomed snow off the car
and drove to the Kearsarge Mini-Mart
  before Amy opened
to yank my Globe out of the bundle.
  Back, I set my cup of coffee
beside Jane, still half-asleep,
  murmuring stuporous
thanks in the aquamarine morning.
