Jan Hansen Poet Verse

Clouds and a Moment

Clouds and a moment

When a cloud rolled over lake Michigan 
cast an eerie spell of otherness over the lake
the stillness was profound when a bird
shrieked in horror.

When the cloud disappeared up yonder
a ferry crossed the lake's undulating water
reached the shore as a wet handshake 
of monotony.
