blue icing
...from december
blue icing... got my boat and a friend's boat out of the water today. skim ice has been forming every still night, it was time to get out. the ride to the ramp is only about a mile or so, so it didn't seem too cold. with a blue sky and utterly windless conditions, the water did look like blue icing. it wasn't iced, just very, very still. it'll skim over tonight. the bay was really nice, all clear and crisp and clean. three clammers were digging for their gold in a peaceful solitude, devoid of summer's population enthalpy, but probably singing their own icy blues.
chilled. wish I had that wood burning stove. a cup of hot thai soup and a hot laptop on me. eyes heavy. relaxed. three more months of landlock. patience. cold irons bound.
candle and daydream time. short day.
