i. the lake has opened several places where the ice has come unfrozen two idiots drove their pickup into a hole last night ii. the emergency vehicles woke me with sirens racing to drag these drunks off the ice before they froze iii. the beach sand has been     uncovered by the blowing wind which has driven the snow into a drift over the dock which we have stored by the      treeline iv. walking the sandy shore i stooped to pick up a piece of green, bottle      glass v. the glass is weighty in my hand, and rounded      smooth its edges shaped and polished by the working of sand, water and time          like an olive,          like a cherry,          like a memory,               of you

an incident involving beach glass, in winter, 2012
i. the lake has opened several places where the ice has come unfrozen two idiots drove their pickup into a hole last night ii. the emergency vehicles woke me with sirens racing to drag these drunks off the ice before they froze iii. the beach sand has been     uncovered by the blowing wind which has driven the snow into a drift over the dock which we have stored by the      treeline iv. walking the sandy shore i stooped to pick up a piece of green, bottle      glass v. the glass is weighty in my hand, and rounded      smooth its edges shaped and polished by the working of sand, water and time          like an olive,          like a cherry,          like a memory,               of you
