Looking Into a Dark Sky

By Michael on April 16, 2015April 11, 2019

Snow, Again

By Michael on March 23, 2015April 11, 2019

I had shoveled a few weeks ago. Snow is falling. It’s sort of beautiful, it blankets a city, it hides what we may not like. It’s early Spring. The snow has a price: I’ll shovel. I want to write.
