Driving on Highway 36W


I will never find words adequate
to paint
the rays of light
that thrust through black velvet
as powerfully
and elegantly as eagle’s wings
that slice the clouds
on heaven’s cutting board.

I will never have words adequate
to tell
the way the silky threads
gild the outlines
of the Twin Cities looming
from the predawn darkness
so bright so cheerful
that all the winter haze and gloom
suddenly dissipate.
