In honor of the snowy weather here of late- here’s a snap from a road trip last April that took me through the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. Elevation was around 7000 ft if I recall.

In my study, which is without heat,
in mid-January, in the hills
of a northern province—only
the thin white-haired volumes
of poetry speak, quietly, like
unfed birds on a night visit

to a cat farm. And an airplane is lost
in a storm of fitting pins.
The snow falls, far into the interior.

And all you can say after the long nightof searching for one certain scrap of paper:
It never existed.
And when all the lamps are lit and the smell of the stew
has followed you upstairs
and slipped under the door of your study:

of the life I might have lived,

Storm - James Tate

The snow visits us,
taking little bits of us with it,
to become part of the earth,
an early death and an early return—

like the filing of tax forms.
And all you can say after adding up
column after column: “I’m not myself.”

Rejections are always tough- but it’s a slap in the face when they say “we encourage you to apply next year”- when you’re terminally ill and likely don’t have a “next year”.

From the last day of my recent sojourn in Sweden. A good depiction of how I feel being back in the US
