Before Winter
A Fall day
Colors deepened
In the lens of still air
A house tucked away
In a small green glade
Happily forgotten
Except by friends
Exquisite peace
Before winter storms
David R. Baker graduated from UC Santa Cruz in Literature and draws solace from William Blake, Raymond Carver, Sappho and the classical women poets of Japan. He currently lives under the volcano near Mount Shasta, California.
