Dice-K on target, twirling six and two-thirds innings of huge two-hit ball.

Silvery cloud banks                                                                                                                                   steal in from the north at dusk,                                                                                                              eating blue mountains.                                                                                                                            Only the tree line remains—                                                                                                                   across the lake, wavering.

What have I got against wisterias,                                                                                                         hacking away at them                                                                                                                              as they curl around the corner                                                                                                            find the downspout                                                                                                                                and ascend skyward,                                                                                                                                leaving brown curlicues                                                                                                                           to dangle from the shutters                                                                                                                     when the leaves fall                                                                                                                                  and snow collects my mind?
