As you Know Lucy, I like to absorb a poem, and soak in the lines and stanza that stir my imagination, here your 2nd last stanza enthused me…
“My solidity is diffusing
ocean to ocean
with the red dust of Mars,
to pathos and requiem”

Storm Brewing
“There’s a cold front coming in and there’s three pieces of oak in the wood bin. I thought you had a couple of cords of seasoned oak coming.” she said.
Dan looked at her and said, “It’ll be here in a day or two, nobody knew it was going to get this cold so soon.”
“Well I’m not going to freeze my ass off like I did last year!”
“We could snuggle to keep warm.” he said with a grin.
“That’s not going to do a damn thing for me while you’re off to work. I’m going to use some of that pine we have stockpiled.”
Dan’s grin faded.
“That pine is for emergencies, besides pine will creosote the chimney something terrible.”
“You don’t consider this an emergency?”
He just said, “We burn oak or nothing!”
Margaret reached down to the wood bin, grabbed the hatchet and headed toward Dan who shrank away. Dan knew better than to mess with her when she had that gleam in her eye, especially with that hatchet in her hand. He remembered what happened the last time. She went by him brandishing the hatchet and an evil smile. There were several minutes of hacking and swearing coming from the next room. Dan knew better than investigate. Moments later he saw Margaret come in with an armload of oak firewood.
“Where the hell did that come from?”
Margaret just glared at him, “It’s the first of the kitchen chairs.”

Hi : )
I got to know about this online blogging community a few days ago. This is the first time I am sharing.
Following is an experience that I had had a few years ago when I was in 11th standard.
I have named it ” Among Other Things” because it talks about a few things other than the main topic. But finally it all converges to one thing. Do read it and do let me know how was it.
