The St.Lawrence

It is a mighty seaway
where maritime fleets
and the commerce of
international trade ply
its watery depths. This
early spring day however,
is dark with hovering clouds
bruising the sky, yet light
with endless flakes
of drifting snow
an ice fog settling over
the grey water shielding
its presence from view
only the appearance of an
interminable steel bridge
humping the distance
of two nations revealing
to the mind's eye
what lies beneath.
