30 Poems in 30 Days - Ten: Postcard from the Great Salt Lake

Postcards are the inspiration for tonight's poem.

Postcard from the Great Salt Lake
Danna

The sky is an impossible
blue. If you were here,
you'd shield your eyes
and refuse to look.
The lake has a thick crust
of brine this time of year
that shimmers like
diamonds under harsh light.
The winter air is merciless.
It reminds me of you.
