Ashley

Strange wind and
flags clanging flag poles,
idle gossip of snow
drifting down
out of clouds into pin drop
silence.

Last year I recall Ashley walking
through sugar white snow, her
black coat and wind blown
tangle hair like a dream.

This morning she carved our names
in a table on the back porch
as the flagpoles clanged
and traffic yawned out in
distant coils of wire
and radio tower signals.
