WOODSMOKE AT 70, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: How it is never the same
Last Line: Swirl and it's gone...
Subject(s): Old Age; Smoke


How it is never the same
but always changing. How
sometimes nevertheless
you recognize it. How you
see it from your window
plunging down, flattening
across the frozen lawn,
then rising in a wild
swirl and it's gone . . .
