I awaken to the silence
of a hazy crescent

her empty bed ...
get-well cards catching
winter sunlight
And
hazy day moon
alone, awake with the weight

to break the blockade ...
in the briefing room
silence broken only
by a buzzing fly

Forecasters now predict that the coming El Niño -- a warming of the Pacific Ocean that deeply affects global weather patterns -- is likely to be as severe as the one in 2023-2024, which triggered severe flooding and prolonged heatwaves around the world.
