Nor'easter
Ali Memhard
Pressure shift; wind fills emptiness,
heavy skies hanging over frost-burnt fields
silhouette sun behind nimbostratus.
Frozen fragments waterfalling in pieces:
clinging the fir needles and bare boughs
turning terra firma from tan to white.
Broken branches sleep on power lines
Electricity shivering in somnolent shelters
sheer shards clinging to frigid shingles.
Pressure shift: nimbostratus exits.
