Its cushion foam like ice cream
Half-eaten by the winter mice in storage

Don’t need a full seat to see before me

The drop off on Torch Lake

Awaiting the coolness of dewed mornings

there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.

For every thousand ton of ore 
There is a nugget,
And so we will write like miners, 
Breathing the dust of our darkness,
Filling our veins and lungs 
With the choke of our lives.
