This is the plaque marking my induction into the Hall of Honor in the Unionville…
CHRISTMAS; DUSK
Snowdrifts skimming ice crust on Christmas Day,
my hair caught in the updraft as the sun set,
my ribcage caving in the cold because I wanted
to see the sun in the last of its arc over this
vastness that I call home.
We are never alone, no matter how
much the mind tells the heart otherwise.
