A Poem by Kirsten Salo

Fog

It cloaks the city in denseness
wrapping its tendrils around
the peaks of buildings, spooking
gulls at its presence.

The chill rattles every bone of the
city seeping deep into the marrow
of each structure that spirals up
into the grey sky.

The city is lost between the
low-lying clouds of morning,
wandering to work in a haze of
impenetrable mist.

The sun begins to peek its rays
into the opaque air, burning
the confusion away leaving only
the mystery to linger.
