            With a single malt

            The first arctic nor'wester
            cools this darkened November house
            scratches redbud branches
            against the cat's window and
            keeps night-chaired ears perked

            While I am softly backlit
            in this old blue couch
            I sip at a shot of Loch Morar
            having read and savored pages of
            Ted Kooser's "Delights & Shadows"

            In a green fleece hood
            I keep just warm
            as I sit in a dozing chill and wish
            for reasons only she could know
            that I didn't need to write this.

            s.a.g.   11/5-6/7
