Data-less by Carolyn Mallory:
Fourth day of
fog.
We wake,
peer outside
the cabin
and resign
ourselves
to thick, gray,
opaque
fog.
Back to bed
into the downy
nest cavity.
Another hour --
it's my turn to check,
fog slides in
the door as I try to look out.
We rise.
Knit, read, write,
snooze, wait.
And wait.
The day wears
on.
Cliff's edge
remains swallowed up--
cotton batting.
No data today.
The fog lifts
beyond the
outhouse.
The valley
opens up
to the pale
gray sea.
Boots,
jacket,
gear,
gun...
The outhouse is gone.
