POETRY BY TOM FERGUSON













From M-28

looking NW

across 20 miles of Superior


the lights of the little city

other night times

I there in that view

sleeping

cursing the television

or

1100 miles south

or

long before

a different shoreline

glacier

or

some unguessed

long after


this night again

elusive partner

here & gone

dissolve & fade


sudden focus


dark’n light


sleep


rise
