itasca county, minnesota
when swamp grass 
and a wetland begin to freeze
the small brown mounds
poking upward
will keep you aloft
if you're careful where you step
     like walking on clouds
     surely as close as you'll get 
staying dry         inhaling the coming winter
a refuge found in northern lights
