I am still trying the new approach. I am wondering if anyone sees any weeds in this offering.
Pier at Grand Haven
Dog and I face west, look across
ice, wind-whipped like meringue.
Should we dare to look up, even
for a moment, sharpened points,
Winter’s canines, sharpened
by a lying sun from over east,
perch ready to pierce our hearts,
at the expense of the head. Even
though the absence of warmth
surrounds us, offering its “death nail”
of welcome, we cull survival
from a single strike of a match.
