to pale entry through my window,
and leaching out my room's warmth,
grasped the edges of things
until they were seen
and knowable,
stained with truth,
silver,
gray.

Wow! I think this is one of your best nonets yet. The images are so vivid, and the rhythms of the lines are so compelling–effortless, yet inevitable. I suppose the form itself contributes to the inevitability. I think you have a special talent for nonets–the form seems to bring out some of your best work.
