Fog

Der Nebel haengt in der Luft

It hangs in the air
like a wet blanket
muting the mystery
as if you could
clouding the reality
with vague images
your eyes strain to
make sense of the terrain 
as you navigate your way
to fetch this mornings
mail.

Mail can be a challenge. If bills, paying is just as inclement when the funds are not available. Love this one, the lighthearted twist at the end. Excellent writing!
