Program notes:
(some words...)
New Hampshire

approximately 11:15pm

extremely cold
no street lights

almost a full moon
no leaves clinging to the trees

why do the shadows of trees look blue?

still.....................the silence is deafening

[empty]

a steadily increasing wind cuts
crunching snow

do I have ice in my nostrils?
I feel alive
blank canvas

my toes are beginning to tingle
take in a deep breath
turn around
embrace the cold

I am alone
