evening looking across glen lake

no sand dunes to be seen

perfectly quiet and still

—

the further north we headed

toward the lake

the more smoke was in the air

canada

 our neighbors to the north

were suffering from big fires

the sunset tried to shine through 

it’s sparkles made it to the water

—

‘flame is very near to smoke.’

-Plautus
