Winter Light 1—Cape Ann: Gloucester & Rocky Neck

Gloucester lives as the fishing industry appears to die.

WINTER LIGHT

Sharp, clear, crystalline,
a retina-burning light.
Invite it to toast your body.

Or dull, muted, gray,
obscured by thick clouds and
absorbed by snow,
a light that leaves you no trace.

My winter light hangs
low in the sky,
short days, long
nights.
Do you believe spring will arrive, and,
with spring, a new light?
