Today is also ending--

I like this one, especially the analogy between the skeleton trees and the aching joints. 'Tress' must be a typo for 'trees'. Maybe the word 'gnarled' could be omitted, since the rest of the haiku already implies a bleak impression of storm-battered trees.

Thanks for catching the typo, Dennis, and for the advice!
