lakepoem # 6
a stiff north wind whips
wild waves into a lather
under an intense blue sky
no easy swim today
the eye on the sky morning forecast
right after garrison keillor’s daily poem
assures us summer will return
tomorrow but the incessantly singing
red-eyed vireo has given up
on the season and an early branch
on the maple tree is already
turning crimson
