Storm Light, Oregon coast: photo by Austin Granger, 25 October 2012
The big storm looms off shore in black ecstatic light
Preparing us for the violence of landfall
And deep, bright and dark
The blue wind In the thin black trees
And the pavement in the city street hissing
In the rain so late yet so strong in coming
Making up for a whole season strangely missing
As if until now it had had better things to do
