Amtrak 171

 .

Track 1 for New York

delayed due to trees on track;

just like being at home.

Osprey

 

The Sound flat as glass

and ospreys criss-cross searching

for fish while I watch.

Autumn morning, Connecticut

 

Views across the bay

and to Long Island. Endless

blue skies and soft breeze.

Evocative

 

And when the rains came

the petrichor enveloped

me with nostalgia.

Ophelia’s edge

 

Ophelia’s edge

brings premature Autumn dusk;

heavy yellow skies.

Thinking ahead

.

Garlic bulbs purchased

ready to plant tomorrow;

thinking of summer.

Ophelia enters

 

October records

due to be broken as the

warm weather moves in.

Smile

 

Smile of a stranger

distracts me from the humdrum;

recalibration.

Futile

 

To hope against hope

is an unhappy pursuit

which will end in tears.

Layers

 

Peel back the layers.

We are the sum of our parts

there is beauty here.
