Winter has pursed its lips  
and blown across the surface,  
freezing waves in their wake.

A river with tides that has carried  
fleet Viking ships and hulled-out tree trunk canoes  
flows back and forth at the whim of the moon  
long past the time man floats upon its surface.

I gaze west across its waters  
and hush the whisper of unease;  
having been born on the other shore,  
I long for home.
