1)
The Valley and Mountain
Near Huancayo, Peru
What do I seek, in the chilled!
Mountains so bleak—
In the Mantaro Valley of Peru (?)
Perhaps, untroubled hours doing
Nothing; or perchance—something
Like listening to the sweeping:
Far reaching, wide winds!
Here is where the deep culture is
Not missing: if only I had wings!...

Mid-December Poems

2)
Winter—
Box elder bugs
(A Minnesota poem)
Winter has arrived and this poem
Is long over-due! I think
Someone cut down a box elder tree
(Somewhere down the block),
Because—, they’re all over my house!
(In every room.)
In the spring, they’re not content
To stay at home—(I know); thus,
Until then, I have urges to travel—
And leave them alone.

Morning Whiteout (In St. Paul, Minnesota)
An early snow, acclaims the light:
Brings forth its blinding haze—
And a thin high-billowing wind
Brings forth, its chills all day—;
No end to this whiteness, coming
The ashen sun remains hidden—
And the snow: it just keeps coming.

Strange Devouring Poetry
4) The Ash Dark Pyre
Cremated ashes on a dark Pyre
Reptilian serpents everywhere;
My soul is like some jaded vine,
Irony supreme—a strange mind!

5) Aforgomon’s: Obliteration
I saw the god, Aforgomon
There was something in his gaze
Likened to a salty hurricane!
Then he turned and swallowed me…
(head first)
“I have come,” so he told me then—
After peering from his abyss den
(where he had lived for eons when)
Now on earth’s surface:
“Death
by chains” he said
“of
fire” he said
“is
simply a
symbol;
It
Does
Not
Hold the
Gleam
Of
Obliteration
As in my
Dizzying
Gaze.”
His eyes were like the sea—deep
He had no pity for anybody—.
My body veered before the wind,
As he appeared—at my command
That is when: when
He turned and swallowed me—
With all his necromancy!...
