dying embers

November 5, 2018 by Michael Guerin

a cold drizzle
sheets bare branches
hung like copper wire
and devoid of crows.

three straight days of rain
have transformed
my lawn
into an impenetrable bog.

with a wrought iron poker
i rake gray ashes
hoping to catch
the last few logs.

satisfied, i take a long
slow sip
of hot coffee
as embers glow.
