Time gets stretchy at the junction of years. Something to do with the light, the preponderance of blue, open sky in spaces that otherwise seem closed
The long December shadows of trees on snowy ground. In the distance, mountains. In the foreground, the long shadow of the photographer.

Good morning, Bluesky! I’m happy to have a poem in the new issue of Crab Creek Review
The cover of Crab Creek Review, with sunset art by Linde Husk Table of contents from the issue SEMIFINALIST: HANNAH SILVERSTEIN The Call The unknown number that leaves a message—says your mother and accident and something about a neighbor who might be looking after her elderly dog— particular, peculiar, dissolving into anodyne music, on hold for the ER nurse who can't talk now but promises to call back an hour ago. The evening shifts into a different kind of time. Only yesterday I was skidding on ice.

How can a picture convey how snuggly he is?
A big floofy pooch curled into a perfect circle on a couch. Sound asleep.

Only in the bareness
of winter can we finally see. But how long can we stand it,

that shivering vision?
