Bde Maka Ska (Lake White Earth)

by Laura Rockhold

 

streetlights zebra the winding road and trees’
naked limbs twist without beginnings or ends
city skyline patinas clouds in yellow-green glow
geese sleepwalk on half-frozen water
a net of black specks cast on lake white earth
fading into horizon like a dissipating thought
