Catherine, what a beautiful poem. Absolutely love the image of, "neon contrails,

moon paling and home in her high meadow."

Amen to this poem. Too many great phrases in this verse to quote, but even the capsize would be welcome, invigorating, if the water's not shockingly cold. I want to sit in the year's last day in this poem near the water.

"The moon, waxing crescent, rose

in my circle of tea as I sat on the deck

in the last of the dark. "

I'm going to sit and sip that image for a while.
