WINTER SEA
for Isabel
When I feel at sea
And winter has undone me
I go to the sea
And let the waves admonish me
Aging is just one
of many memorandums
I cannot still long
And let the past encompass me
The waves lick my boots
The kingbirds flitter boldly
You cannot be old
The little creatures counsel me
Give in to the calm
What’s outside is foregone
The damage is done
Let winter light recover me
BREATH VISIBLE

About Me
- Linda Danz
- A native New Yorker, I was born on the lower East Side before it was trendy. Way before. Years ago, when the corporate world of magazine publishing booted me out the door, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and decided after struggling as a painter for most of my adult life that I would struggle as a writer. The idea for my novel “A Birdhouse In Brooklyn” came from an original idea I had for a screenplay, “The Birdhouse.” While writing that screenplay—a collaborative effort—I felt my story was bigger than a movie and I began in earnest to write it as novel. The novel is entirely a work of fiction. Names, characters, business organizations, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or used fictitiously. The use of names of actual persons, places, and events is incidental to the plot, and is not intended to change the entirely fictional character of the work. A BIRDHOUSE IN BROOKLYN has been registered with the Writers Guild of America, East #R20993 (June 13, 2006). No part of it may be posted or reprinted without permission from the author, Linda Danz. All photographs, unless otherwise credited, are mine.

Ah well, a poem sometimes comes easily when the object in Nature is so strong and beautiful. I am always recovered by a winter sea.
