Hi Paul:
Greetings from Manhattan. About twenty years ago, I was visiting friends who lived at the eastern end of Long island, where we experienced weather similar to today’s whiteout snowstorm. Here is the poem,
“Blizzard at Montauk,” from my 2008 collection, Father of Water.
Best wishes,
Charles Pierre

Blizzard at Montauk
By Charles Pierre
An ocean of snow
flows over ruins
of the three sweet seasons.
Amid miles of white
a stray dog squints
for signs of living land,
but the spotted air
swirls around his eyes
in unearthly circles,
the frozen flakes
sticking to his lashes,
his vision tranced
by a vast pathlessness.
JAMES NEWTON HOWARD “Snowstorm” from the film Snow Falling on Cedars.
Another fine poem by Charles Pierre: “snow / flows” over “pathlessness”–indeed!
