Harry Reid Dies
(after a three-year struggle)
Looking far to the south
beneath low hanging clouds
a sliver of yellow-green sky.
A winter storm blows in
post-impressionistic zones of color,
grays and browns and purples,
flatten the world.
At the end of my walk
with winter light fading
the yellow-green reappears,
cushion moss sprinkled with snow
like early stars.
