Wintery Face
1
This is my favorite winter photo
of Lake Michigan
So lonely,
so mournful, so bleak,
just like
the long Wisconsin
winters.

From afar
the power plant chimneys
wave white flags
of surrender

Lasting longer
today has grown
a gray whisker or two
on its wintery face

But, we are a long way
from the five o'clock
shadows of sweet
summer
