Any day now,
the lake will freeze over.
Winter
will tighten its grip.
You will dream
of the dry desert.
I will dream
of the Sanibel shorebirds.
Time has migrated here to the north,
to stand steadfast for many months.
Our dreams will deepen
like the silencing snow
of acceptance,
and will adapt
like resilient reeds
in the winter winds.
like resilient reeds
in the winter winds.
