New Page Across the Waters
it’s just a cell
storm
across lake champlain
contrasting the sunshine in a blink
yet it feels like
a page turning across my sight
the shadow of the passing page swiping a
cinema-transition to the next scene
i can even see the tiny sandbar
pretending to be a
continent
and why not?
in a day’s blink
my wife and i will blink across a
larger water
make
our own contrasting shadow
and land in Paris
remembering
every sandbar is a continent
when you breathe there

Last PhotoPoem in Vermont
but not the last poem or photopoem about vermont
we’re just moving, that’s all 😉
my wife and i went from austin to galveston for a bit to be near family in houston, then on to here, in vermont, for the same reason
now, with a scheduled detour in paris, we’ll be returning to austin texas, by mid december
i’d prefer to yak a bit more, say a bit more, explain a bit more, but i’m typing this as my tether to the cable internet is about to be shut off
then i’ll need to find a wifi place to finish this by linking to dversepoets
definitely another page turning, i think it’ll be fun seeing what paris will be like this time of year; i’ve read the lights for the holidays are really special – i’ll let you know 😉

Hurricane Sandy’s Effect, Minor – One Week Delay Going to Paris!
got calls just this evening that due to heavy damage at nyc airports, all legs of our flights cancelled, am re-scheduling, but earliest avail for both of us at same price etc is one week out
as i say in my poem, in a day’s blink 😉
and if “every sandbar is a continent / when you breathe there” – then every twist & turn delay is another adventure in the day’s many blinks 😉
now my wife and i have a whole ‘nother view of a feature done in the media here, called “stuck in vermont”

Hurricane Sandy’s Effect, Major – No Power, Cold Temps, Contaminated Water
beyond all the above, are our prayers for the folks and families suffering and coping with sudden devastation and uncertainty
because, having living most my life along the texas gulf coast, despite the welcome aid of all our fellow neighbors, when one suddenly returns to living day-to-day, moment to moment, without safe water, food, or shelter, the reminder-blink of our very human vulnerability and dependence on each other, is truly shocking in its long-range impact –
and is something i’ve become more and more grateful for having learned –
natasha, below, from dVersePoets, says it well…

“It’s the Season of the Witch and those of us along the eastern seaboard have named her Sandy. Here, we’ll feel her steam through the overnight, but for those of you out there dealing with her full frontal assault, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.”
“perhaps we can take some comfort in knowing our virtual pub has proven quite strong against the elements and the mood, as always, is welcoming and warm…”
take a look, if you can, at their fine site, but stay and be safe with loved ones and family
