Winter Sunset

Winter Sunset

At end of day

last flash of sun

hovers over lake;

we may be deceived

by its fuchsia brilliance

that travels quickly

from edge of horizon,

a jest of summer

behind bare branches.

But we are not naive,

the peal of winter bells

ring under a waxing moon,

frost king marches forth.
